    Decimals are base 10. This means that each digit can be one out of 10 options. Base 5 is one out of 5 options. Examples:
    • In base 16 (hexadecimal), the 16 options are 0 through 9 and A through F.
    • In base 10 (decimal), the ten options are 0 through 9.
    • In base 8 (octal), the options are 0 through 7.
    • In base 2 (binary), the 2 options are 0 and 1.
    • And in base 5, the options are 0 through 4.


    So, let's represent the number "ten" in these bases:

    Base 16: ten = A
    Base 10: ten = 10
    Base 8: ten = 12
    Base 5: ten = 20
    Base 2: ten = 1010
