A base 4 number system has 4 numbers in it: 0, 1, 2, and 3.
After 3 the next numbers are 10, 11, 12, 13, 20, 21, etc.
A base 10 number system has 10 numbers in it, 0 through 9.
Hexadecimal is base 16: 0-9 followed by A-F
The alien using a “base 4” number system does not have a single digit for the number “4”. They represent four of something with the number “10”, so for them, their four digit number system is “base 10”.
