A non-zero numeral with more than one digit position will mean a different number in a different number base, but in general, the digits will mean the same.[11] The base-8 numeral 238 contains two digits, "2" and "3", and with a base number (subscripted) "8", means 19. In our notation here, the subscript "8" of the numeral 238 is part of the numeral, but this may not always be the case. Imagine the numeral "23" as having an ambiguous base number.
