Thanks for the reply, that is a nice one.
So can I put as
"binary system 10"
the noun "system" will act as adjectival noun. Any advice ? Thank you.

Hi,

Say 'binary 10' or '10 in the binary system'.

Hello, thanks again, May I know is the a reason that you prefer to use "binary 10" instead of "binary system 10" ? Are you judging base on the former is more familiar than the latter or is it base on grammar ? I need to analyse this precisely. Thank you.

It's not because of any mathematical reaason. It's just that '10' is like a noun, and 'binary' is an adjective. Thus, it seems
