well you could use scientific notation or a different base (although sci notation is kinda useless...)

in scientific notaton if you wanted to say "300" you would say:
3x10^2 which equals 3x100 which is 300
if you dont know what 10^2 is (ten to the 2nd power) this method is probly not for you.

the second way are "bases". we use a base-10 system. meaning each "place" has a value of ten times the last place. see. or that each "ten" is 10 "ones".

in a different base "ten" might be 2. in bianary for every 2, you add 1 to the "tens" place. see?

base 10 binary (base 2) trianary (base 3)
1 1 1
2 10 2
3 11 10
4 100 11
5 101 12

this is a dificult concept! be warned!
you could also use somthing greater than 10 as a base. say...16 "hexidecimal". so you need more than the numbers we have. so it goes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, a, b, c, d, e, f... so,
base 10 hexidecimal
15 f
16 10
17 11
18 12
34 22

i hope this helps!

Assuming that I am interpreting your question correctly, you could use a fraction such as 10/2 or 50/10 because they are equivilant to five.
