   Apologies if this is the wrong forum; I'll move it if necessary.   
      
   I remember from a Number Theory class I took a few years back that a   
   theoretical notation system could be set up using the multiplication of primes   
   rather than the addition of integers less than a given base multiied by the   
   various powers of that base.   
      
   For the numbers zero to twelve this multiplicative system would be:   
      
   0, a, 10, 2, 100, 11, 1000, 3, 20, 101, 10000, 12
