also binary is a number system based on 2 unlike our base 10 number system.
so 10 would be 01010.

All of them (binary, decimal, octal, pental, hexidecimal) are "base 10" in their own base. The highest value digit is one less than the number of values each digit can have.

x = 0 to n-1 for base n

There are 10 types of people in this world, those that understand binary and those that don't.

So are you using a subtraction function here, Base 10 - Base 8 Octal leaves a base 2, one who understands and one who does not?

To write decimal 2 in binary it is 10,
To write decimal 8 in octal it is 10,
To write decimal 16 in hexadecimal it is 10,

Etc.
