To find the base of the number, we need to look at the digits used in the calculation.
The largest digit used in the given calculation is 5. Therefore, the base of the number can be determined by finding the smallest base in which the digit 5 is valid.
In base 5, the digits used are 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. The digit 5 is not valid in base 5.
In base 6, the digits used are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The digit 5 is valid in base 6.
Therefore, the base of the number is 6.
