The **radix** is the number of unique digits used to represent numbers in a positional numeral system. Most commonly used systems tend to be binary ($2$-base), octal ($8$-base), decimal ($10$-base), and [[#Hexadecimal|hexadecimal]] ($16$-base).
%%ANKI
Basic
What is the process of subtracting a larger digit from a smaller one in radix $r$?
Back: Decrement the next non-zero and add $r$ to the smaller digit in question.
