base ten
This term is a technical descriptor used primarily in mathematics and computer science to specify the decimal system. It is almost always used as a compound modifier preceding a noun, such as system, notation, or arithmetic, to distinguish it from other positional systems like binary (base two) or hexadecimal (base sixteen).
Because it functions as a fixed technical term, it does not undergo inflection or change in form regardless of the context. It is neither a noun nor a verb in this usage, but a specialized adjective describing the numerical foundation of a counting system.
