Biquinary Notation
A numerical system in which each decimal
digit is represented by a pair of digits consisting of a coefficient of
five followed by a coefficient of one.
For example, the decimal digit 7 is represented in biquinary notation
by 12 [(1 x 5) + (2 x 1)], and the decimal quantity 3648 is represented by 03
11 04 13.
The abacus is based on biquinary notation.
