The duodecimal system (also known as base 12 or dozenal) is a positional notation numeral system using twelve as its base.
| duodecimal (base 12) | quinary (base 5) | duodecimal (base 12) | quinary (base 5) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | = 1 | b | = 21 |
| 2 | = 2 | 10 | = 22 |
| 3 | = 3 | 11 | = 23 |
| 4 | = 4 | 12 | = 24 |
| 5 | = 10 | 13 | = 30 |
| 6 | = 11 | 14 | = 31 |
| 7 | = 12 | 15 | = 32 |
| 8 | = 13 | 16 | = 33 |
| 9 | = 14 | 17 | = 34 |
| a | = 20 | 18 | = 40 |
Quinary (base-5 or pental) is a numeral system with five as the base. A possible origination of a quinary system is that there are five fingers on either hand.
| quinary (base 5) | duodecimal (base 12) | quinary (base 5) | duodecimal (base 12) |

| 13 | ≈ 8 | 33 | ≈ 16 |
| 14 | ≈ 9 | 34 | ≈ 17 |
| 20 | ≈ a | 40 | ≈ 18 |
