Why are base-32 numbers usually not used in programming?

152 views Asked by At

Usually, programming languages support binary, octal, decimal, and hexadecimal numbers. But, base-32 numbers are usually not used in programming. I never seen a code that uses base-32 numbers. Base-32 numbers are short. For example;

010011010010(binary)==2322(octal)==1234(decimal)==4D2(hexadecimal)==16I(base-32, shortest)

Base-32 number is the shortest.
