Understanding odd number notes

Walnutcracker

So, i'm trying to understand note divisions. I know a lot of these aren't necessarily practical but, all the same, i'd like to know exactly what each one is called. So here's where i am at -

Bars
Beats - 1/4th note
Beats/2 - 1/8th note
Beats/3 - 1/8th note triplets
Beats/4 -1/16th note
Beats/5 - ??
Beats/6 - 16th note triplets
Beats/7 - ??
Beats/8 - 1/32nd note
Beats/10 - ??
Beats/12 - 1/32nd note triplets
Beats/14 - ??
Beats/16 - 1/64

So there are four that i'm stuck at, beats/5, beats/7, beats/10 and beats/14. Are the rest correct?

I read that 5 notes per beat are called quintiplet's. Would they be called 16th note quintiplet's?

Any help in filling in the blanks, and correcting me if i'm wrong on anything, would be appreciated. It's just me trying to get my head around grid snapping divisions in a programme i use. I know i'll hardly ever use much more than 16th notes but i'm just curious

I don't really follow the method you have regarding
Beats/3
Beats/4 etc...

Are you looking to see how all the other note values fit into a 1/4 note? Because the triplet fits into a full quarter note, whereas an 1/8 note is shorter than a quarter note and a lifewise for a 1/16th note.

If you want to know how many fit into a quarter note you would have this:

Beats/1 - 1/4th note
Beats/2 - 2/8th notes
Beats/3 - 3/8th note triplets
Beats/4 - 4/16th notes
Beats/5 - 5/16th note quintuplet
Beats/6 - 6/16th note triplets
Beats/7 - 7/16th note septuplet
Beats/8 - 8/32nd notes
Beats/10 - 10/32nd note (double quintuplets?)
Beats/12 - 12/32nd note triplets
Beats/14 - 14/32nd note (double septuplets?)
Beats/16 - 16/64th notes

All these fit into one quarter note. You can also add in the Beats/9, 11 and 13 etc...
If you're looking for how many notes fit into a standard bar of 4:4 time multiply the first numbers by 4. So 4/4th notes, 8/8 notes, 12/8 notes etc...
I don't think there's a name for things beyond a septuplet, the "double" are simply septuplets at a higher level, i.e. 1/8th note septuplet vs. 1/16th note septuplet.

I hope that helps.

I didn't choose it I'm just going by the options that the programme gives me. Thanks for the help. What i was trying to figure out moreso than how many of the notes fitted into a single beat was to find out the names of them at that resolution. I know it goes into crazy sized divisions but thanks for the help
