The binary system uses two digits, zero and one.
The decimal representation of numbers is shorter. Binary number require approx 3.3 times as many digits.
Two of them.
The number of digits in a number system is equal to the base of the system. The decimal system is base 10 and has ten digits. Binary has two bits, which is short for binary digits. Hexadecimal has sixteen digits (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E & F), and so on.
10 digits.

5 bits are 5 binary digits. If they represent a decimal number, then that number can be anything from zero to 31, and can have either 1 or 2 digits.
Binary means consisting of or relating to 2, especially any kind of system that has two of something. The 'binary system' often means the numerical system that consists only of 0 and 1, as opposed to the decimal system that uses 10 digits. But there are binary stars, two stars that orbit around each other, and the word is used in many other ways as well.
It turns out that using the binary system - base 2 - requires circuits that are extremely simple, compared to circuits that manage decimal (base 10) numbers. So, internally, computers do lots of stuff in binary. Octal and hexadecimal numbers are used as shorthand for binaries, to make them readable for humans. This is because on average, a number written in binary digits requires 3-4 times as many digits as a number in decimal. Each octal (base 8) number simply represents three bits (binary digits); while each hexadecimal (base 16) number represents 4 bits.
There is no largest number, either decimal or binary.

The number system we commonly used, known as the decimal system, has 10 digits (0 to 9). It is possible to use other number systems, with a different number of digits. Any numbering system based on the same principle (the principle of place-value) must use 2 or more digits.
4 digits - representing 16 integers.
