Chords which may be considered as built from fifths, called quintal, because of inversion, are actually quartal.

The quartal numeral system is the base four system, and uses the digits 0-3. Two quartal digits contain a nybble; four contain a byteThis article refers to the unit of binary information. Byte was also the name of a popular computer industry magazine, see Byte magazine. A byte is commonly used as a unit of storage measurement in computers, regardless of the type of data being stored.. A single quartal digit can be described by two bitThis article is about the unit of information, see Bit (disambiguation) for other meanings. A bit (abbreviated b is the most basic information unit used in computing and information theory. A single bit (short for b inary dig it is a zero or a one, or a ts.

Quartal numerals can be made from binary numerals by grouping consecutive digits into pairs (from right).

E.g.: The binary representation for decimal 74 is 1001010, which groups into 1 00 10 10. So the quartal representation is 1022.

Compare: binaryThe binary or base-two numeral system is a system for representing numbers in which a radix of two is used; that is, each digit in a binary numeral may have either of two different values. Typically, the symbols 0 and 1 are used to represent binary number, octalThe octal numeral system is the base 8 number system, and uses the digits 0 7. According to Donald Knuth's The Art of Computer Programming it was invented by King Charles XII of Sweden. Octal numerals can be made from binary numerals by grouping consecuti, hexadecimalIn mathematics, hexadecimal or simply hex is a numeral system with a radix or base of 16 , usually written using the symbols 0-9 and A-F or a-f. It is a useful system in computers because there is an easy mapping from four bits to a single hex digit..

QuartalIn music or music theory, quartal is the quality of a chord made from fourths, and other things constructed from fourths, such as counterpoint. Chords which may be considered as built from fifths, called quintal, because of inversion, are actually quartal Quartal and quintal harmoniesQuartal harmonies and quintal harmonies are harmonies based on fourths and fifths rather than the traditional harmonies based on thirds. For example, G-C-F for fourths or G-D-A for fifths.
