base 12 gives cleaner thirds which come up a lot. base 60 is the king of bases tho. that's what the babylonians used.
base 12 though, that used to be a thing in a lot of places. this is why eleven and twelve are not 1 teen and 2 teen in english/germanic/nordic languages. in slavic languages they are odin natset and dve natset or similar. natset or naiset or similar comes from deset meaning ten.
base 10 gives you 1, 2, 5 as factors; base 12 gives you 1, 2, 3 as primary factors. base 60 is 1, 2. 3. 5
