Etymology

@Netizen3102: I don't understand how your etymology makes sense semantically. And Wikipedia says: The term "factoradic", which is a portmanteau of factorial and mixed radix […] Ioaxxere (talk) 06:21, 5 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

You're right that factor + -adic doesn't make sense, but factorial + -adic could semantically represent the number system being based on the factorial. I will include the portmanteau as part of the etymology. Netizen3102 (talk) 06:47, 5 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
