- Decimal (Base 10): The standard system used in everyday life. Digits 0-9.
- Binary (Base 2): Used by modern computer systems. Digits 0 and 1.
- Octal (Base 8): Sometimes used in computing (e.g., Unix file permissions). Digits 0-7.
- Hexadecimal (Base 16): Widely used in computing for memory addresses and colors. Digits 0-9 and A-F.
