===Decimal counting=== [[Decimal]] counting uses the ten symbols ''0'' through ''9''. Counting begins with the incremental substitution of the least significant digit (rightmost digit) which is often called the ''first digit''. When the available symbols for this position are exhausted, the least significant digit is reset to ''0'', and the next digit of higher significance (one position to the left) is incremented (''overflow''), and incremental substitution of the low-order digit resumes. This method of reset and overflow is repeated for each digit of significance. Counting progresses as follows: :000, 001, 002, ... 007, 008, 009, (rightmost digit is reset to zero, and the digit to its left is incremented) :0'''1'''0, 011, 012, ... : ... :090, 091, 092, ... 097, 098, 099, (rightmost two digits are reset to zeroes, and next digit is incremented) :'''1'''00, 101, 102, ...
