Actually, to be "quite" tecnically correct, "one" aught observe the written , numerical grammer 'syntax'.
IE ....
Consider the number '1' .
According to the accepted numerical conventions of parameter =ommision= , this glyph mite be more correctly interpreted as ... '1'(one), of the base '10', to the 1_th power.
. (1) <== power And mite be fully specified as 1 . (10) <== base
Added , that modern notational conventions now 'accept' the notion of big/little "endian" thusly ; . (1) <== power 1 . (10)(b) <== base, endian_ness
This, notion, of course , gains more significance in 'numbers' having several place_values , as opposed to the simple case of just one place_value.
Added that the notion of place_value, places =no= restriction on the parameter composition of "a" single numerical digit in a concatinated set of 'such' . e.g. Roman numerals, Abacus upper/lower sections .
Computational methodology requires consistantcy, & reproduceabilty in it's 'operators' , which may operate on , or over, "numbers".
Consider the example of '0', raised to the '0_th' power, to the base '10' . This equates to '1'. BTW, any number, of any base, to the 0_th power, is "1" , in =that= base.
Thusly, "one" mite now be able to divide by '0'.
There are =special= computational "engines" which can simultaneous "consider" all the specified parameters of a numerical glyph , compute, and 'arrive' at this '1' result.
Moving 'rite' along ... ... the "BCD", biny, nibble, octal, hex, and et al, modes of past/current computational engines can be designed to properly 'compute' as described above, but generally arent ... e.g. " divide by zero overflow ".
I shant "bore" you with the methodology of processing 'imaginary' numbers ... e.g. the sqrt of -1 , suffice it to 'say' that this "notion" follows rite along in lock step. Useful in 'swollowing' The Theory of Everything.
......... - " Adapt to the technology or get assimilated buster! " -
I 'adapted' ... was 'assimilated' ... luckily came out the other "end" with only a Turette's twitch, but survived it all.
Now , I avoid computing most 'anything' ... simply look for the 'green' "OK" button ... hit it.
