Good afternoon all, I was wondering is there a table of names for the base x of numbers?

For example, I know that numbers in base 10 are called "decimal", those in base 2 are called "binary", base 16 is called "hexadecimal", but what will be the name for those in base 9, or base 15 ?

    Your title should say "base 2" or "base two" in reference to binary, not "base 10" (which ordinarily means "base ten"); i.e., "base 10" is *not* ordinarily called "binary".2012-01-23

Nonary and pentadecimal respectively.

You might also be interested in the Wikipedia articles that give the names for n-ary bases and the article on radix, which is another name for 'base'.
