A short remark abour writing the base. Many careless students do not treasue the significance of the subscript or smaller font size with a pegged lower level. This resulted in them having wrong interpretation of their own working later on in the same question.

To side track here, I noticed that writing the base number in a smaller font size and subscripted is an important need to express the number as a base. Here when students did not write according, it becomes another meaning. Therefore maths does train students not only in mathematical theory, it helps them write clearly and in an understandable form.
