How this conversion works
Ten in binary is 1010: 8 + 2. Beginners often expect "10" to stay "10", but in base two the digit 2 does not exist, so counting rolls over much sooner.
Each base just uses a different set of digits for the same quantity. Reading
10 as a decimal number gives the decimal value
10; expressing that same value in base two, eight or sixteen
produces the rows above. To convert any number between bases — including custom bases from 2
to 36 — use the number base converter.
