Why were only 10 Commandments given?

There are only 10 Commandments given by God to Moses and the question is: Why only this number? These is a reason I have become aware of, but let's see how people react to this question. God took a lot of time to deliver this number but it has never changed. 

Exodus 20:1 - 26

ESV - ¹ And God spoke all these words, saying. ² I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
