# Standard Number Format

## Fact Anchor Event (22 base36 digits)

A 22 digit base36 is a large number (1.7e34 in base10) that is almost as big as an [UUID](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier), it identifies a Fact Anchor within a Fuzzy Block.

A 22 digit Base36 number can be represents by 114 bits of information e.g. the first 114 bits of a sha256 hash.

| Base | Number |
| --- | --- |
| 36 | ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ |
| 10 | 17,324,272,922,341,479,351,919,144,385,642,495 |
| 2 | 110101011000100111000100001101111111110000001100011000011100100111000011111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 |

It is more than enough to represent facts generated within a Fuzzy Block for now and well into the future.
