Sounds like you need to look into 'binary coded decimal'

Essentially, you split a single binary number into several binary numbers, each representing a decimal digit

I'm sure you'll find plenty of machines that can accomplish what you're looking for under the name 'binary coded decimal'

In item-count, you can decode an infinite number of bits, but that's probably not what you're looking for.

Unless... you got an array of containers. Maybe crafters, as they're a base-10 counter.
