What does Denary really mean?

Alright, so "denary" basically means something related to the number ten. Like, it's used to describe the system of numbers we use every day, where we have ten digits from 0 to 9. So when we count, we go from 1 to 9 and then when we get to 10, we start back at 1 with a "1" in the tens place and a "0" in the ones place. That's what we call the "denary" or "decimal" system.

But "denary" can also mean something else. It can be used to describe things that are related to the number ten, like a denary necklace that has ten beads on it, or a denary set of fingers when we count using our fingers, since we have ten of them.

So yeah, "denary" basically means related to the number ten, like how we count and use numbers in our everyday life. Cool, right?
