The masters like Beethoven teach us how.
For example on Monnlight Sonata - Beethoven.
Bass, almost always just single notes. Thumb and little finger play the same bass note, octave apart.
Since chords are usually (and sound best) near the middle of the piano keyboard and Beethoven wanted the left hand far away left for deep bass, the left hand can not contribute to chords.
The right hand has the little finger for melody and the chords are played by all the fingers of the right hand.
Other similar example is the fabulous prelude in C minor - Chopin. It is the basis of Come into my life - Georgio Moroder.
Other example but the right hand playing melody and left hand playing bass with the little finger and chowders with all other fingers is the intro to Old and Wise - The Alan Parsons Project
