- Answer
Given a positive integer , it can be shown that every complex number of the form , where and are integers, can be uniquely expressed in the base using the integers as digits. That is, the equation is true for a unique choice of non-negative integer and digits chosen from the set , with . We write to denote the base expansion of . There are only finitely many integers that have four-digit expansions
