Septenary


Septenary is the base-7 numeral system, using the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. In expanded notation, a septenary numeral d_k...d_0 represents the nonnegative integer

 n=sum_(j=0)^kd_j7^j,

where each d_j is a digit value from 0 to 6. For example, 60_7=6·7+0=42 in decimal. The place values of the fractional part are the negative powers 7^(-1), 7^(-2), ....

The septenary digit strings for successive nonnegative integers, beginning with 0, are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, ... (OEIS A007093).
