WHAT DOES DUODENARY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Duodecimal

The duodecimal system is a positional notation numeral system using twelve as its base. In this system, the number ten may be written as "A", "T", or "X", and the number eleven as "B" or "E". Another common notation, introduced by Sir Isaac Pitman, is to use a rotated "2" for ten and a reversed "3" for eleven. The number twelve is instead written as "10" in duodecimal, whereas the digit string "12" means "1 dozen and 2 units". Similarly, in duodecimal "100" means "1 gross", "1000" means "1 great gross", and "0.1" means "1 twelfth". The number twelve, a superior highly composite number, is the smallest number with four non-trivial factors, and the smallest to include as factors all four numbers within the subitizing range. As a result of this increased factorability of the radix and its divisibility by a wide range of the most elemental numbers, duodecimal representations fit more easily than decimal ones into many common patterns, as evidenced by the higher regularity observable in the duodecimal multiplication table. As a result, duodecimal has been described as the optimal number system.
