The vigesimal or base 20 numeral system is based on twenty (in the same way in which the decimal numeral system is based on ten).
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.
