Borrowed from the lingo of truck drivers, police officers, and others communicating via radio, 10-4 means okay or affirmative. It is an acknowledgement used to convey that a message has been received.
This is just one of a series of ten codes, or aural brevity codes, used to save airtime and convey a precisely defined meaning. The word "10" is used before the code number to alert the listener that a code is about to be spoken.

Not sure where it came from. I knew what it meant but I figured this would explain better than I can .

You forgot 10-100. Although, it might not be an *official* 10-code, there is indeed a popular use for the 10-100 code.

Break channel. This is XM4946825, VDF505, we're 10-8, 10-10, on the side. CQ, CQ, CQ DX! Can I get a get mod check? You're coming in at a solid nine pounds, my 20 is Riverside and Smyth. We're 10-7.
