In the "factoradic" numbering system, the rightmost digit can be 0 or 1; the next digit to the left can be 0, 1, or 2; the next can be 0, 1, 2, or 3; and so on. That means that the rightmost digit counts ones, the next to the left counts sixes, the next one 24s, and so on.
[EDITED FROM THIS POINT FORWARD] A factorion is an integer which is equal to the sum of factorials of its digits. There are exactly four such numbers:
1! = 1 (decimal) = 1 (factoradic)
2! = 2 (decimal) = 10 (factoradic)
1! + 4! + 5! = 145 (decimal) = 11001 (factoradic) (note that the 1st, 4th, and 5th digits are all 1, the other digits are zero)
4! + 0! + 5! + 8! + 5! = 40585 (decimal) = 10021001 (you can work this one out :) )
For more information, see the linked articles below. Good luck!
[EDITED TO CORRECT] tbolling is right, I mistyped the above. The values of the factoradic digits from right to left are 1!=1, 2!=2, 3!=6, 4!=24, etc.

I agree with everything Jay H has to say with one small exception. In the first paragraph toward the end, Jay says that the 2nd place digit counts the sixes. The 2nd place digit in this numbering system counts the twos.
1! = 1
2! = 2
3! = 6
4! = 24
...
So, the first place digit counts the ones, the second place digit counts the twos, the third counts the sixes, etc.

No number can be represented by more than one way because the sum of respective factorials multiplied by the index is always the next factorial minus one:
\sum_{i=0}^{n} i\cdot i! = {(n+1)!} - 1.
There is a natural mapping between the integers 0, ..., n! − 1 and permutations of n elements in lexicographic order, when the integers are expressed in factoradic form.

Mixed radix numeral system A numeral system (or system of numeration) is a framework where a set of numbers are represented by numerals in a consistent manner....
[For more, click on this link]s are more general than the usual ones in that the numerical base may vary from position to position. Such numerical representation is advantageous when representing units that are equivalent to each other, but not by the same ratio. For example, 32 weeks, 5 days, 7 hours, 45 minutes, 15 seconds, and 500 milliseconds might be rendered relative to minutes in mixed-radix notation as:
... 3, 2, 5, 7, 45; 15, 500 , or as
... 10, 10, 7, 24, 60; 60, 1000
310210577244560.15605001000
In the tabular format, the digits are written above their base, and a semicolon is used to indicate the radix point[Click link for more facts about this topic]. In numeral format, each digit has its associated base attached as a subscript, and the radix point[For more, click on this link]'s position is indicated by a full stop A punctuation mark (.) placed at the end of a declarative sentence to indicate a full stop or after abbreviations

An MRN system can often benefit from a tabular summary. The familiar system for describing the 604800 seconds of a week starting from Sunday Midnight runs as follows:
Radix: 7 2 12 60 60
Denomination: day half-day hour minute second
Place value (seconds): 86400 43200 3600 60 1
Digit translations …
day: 0–Sunday 1–Monday 2–Tuesday 3–Wednesday 4–Thursday 5–Friday 6–Saturday
half-day: 0–AM 1–PM
hour: 0 is written as "12" (!)
So the MRN 371251251605760 seconds (from Midnight Sunday) is interpreted as 05:51:57 PM Wednesday, 070201202602460 as 12:02:24 AM Sunday. Ad-hoc notations for MRN systems are commonplace.

Mixed-radix numbers of the same base can be manipulated using a generalization of manual arithmetic algorithms. Conversion of values from one mixed base to another is easily accomplished by first converting the place values of the one system into the other, and then applying the digits from the one system against these.

The above record is powerful, yet i could upload "selflessness"to it. you should be prepared to permit your mate to be thierself till that's detrimental to the relationship. Faithfulness is likewise paramount. Infidelity, in any type, is detrimental.
