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) | ternary (base 3) | quinary (base 5) | ternary (base 3) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | = 1 | 21 | = 102 |
| 2 | = 2 | 22 | = 110 |
| 3 | = 10 | 23 | = 111 |
| 4 | = 11 | 24 | = 112 |
| 10 | = 12 | 30 | = 120 |
| 11 | = 20 | 31 | = 121 |
| 12 | = 21 | 32 | = 122 |
| 13 | = 22 | 33 | = 200 |
| 14 | = 100 | 34 | = 201 |
| 20 | = 101 | 40 | = 202 |
The ternary numeral system (also called base-3) has three as its base. Analogous to a bit, a ternary digit is a trit (trinary digit). One trit is equivalent to log23 (about 1.58496) bits of information.
