Welcome to the article about numbers for  Ushkeem!

Base
Ushkeem uses a base 8 numeral system, bijective base 8 to be exact.

This means that it doesn't use zeroes like regular bases do.
Ushkeem does have a symbol for the number zero,
but it simply means "nothing of something" and is not used with other numbers.

Digit Grouping
In large numbers, digits are grouped per four after the first digit instead of three like in most other languages.
For example: 100,000,000,000 would be grouped as 1,0000,0000,000.

The delimiter (symbol) that Ushkeem uses to group digits is a thin space.

Decimals & Fractions
Decimals in Ushkeem work the same as in the decimal system, but in base 8.
And you may wonder, how does Ushkeem write 0.01 if it doesn't use any zeroes? Well, there's an exception.
In this case zeroes can be used because it still means that there is nothing in that place.

The decimal separator (or radix point for other bases) that is used in Ushkeem is .

Fractions also work the same as in the decimal system, but instead of a fraction slash ( ⁄ , as in ½) to indicate fractions,
it uses a fraction point ().
Also, shouldn't decimals in base 8 be called octals? It sounds weird to me.
