How many digits are there?
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.

What are the different base number for each number system?
If you mean a number system analogous (similar) to our decimal system, the base for such a number system can be any integer, 2 or greater. In other words, the base can be 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. You need as many different digits as the size of the base (decimal is in base 10, so you need 10 different digits).
