The need to represent 1/3 exactly is also quite common. That’s why I
think the smallest place-system base that can cope with a reasonable
range of fractions is 30 -- it has 2, 3 and 5 as prime divisors, and so
can cope with fraction denominators made up arbitrary products and
integer powers of all of those.
 
60 is nice

60, and the good old Babylonian 360, give you nothing new that 30 doesn’t
already have.
