Here 5/2 = 3
and converting it to 5/3 = 2 is not a good choice I think!

I think it's just division with round-up to larger number:
5/2=2.5 -> rounding get 3
10/3=3.33.. -> rounding get 4

"Rounding" is different from truncation.

I think it is 10/3 = 10/(5/2) = 10*2/5 = 4

5/2 is not the same as 5 "divided by" 2 here.... the "/" i believe is just a factor added to confuse. This is what I think it is:

5 op 2 = 3 (5-2 = 3)
so shoudn't 10 op 3 be 10 - 3 = 7 ?

5=101 base on 2, so the length is 3
10=101 base on 3, so the length is 3

given 5/2=3, what will be the output of 10/3?

I thought 4.

5/2 = 3
=> (5*2) / (2*1.5) = (3*2) / (1*1.5)
=> 10/3 = 6/1.5
=> 10/3 = 4

QED?

10/3= 5x2/3 = (5x2x2x2)/(3x2x2)=(5/2)x(2x2x2/(3x2)=3x(2x2x2)/(3x2)=(2x2x2)/2=4
