Octal
Octal is a numeral system for representing a numeric value as base 8. Generally, an octal digit is represented as “0” to “7” with the same value as for decimal but with each place a power of 8. For example:
- ✤
In decimal, each place is a power of ten. For example:
- ✤
An octal digit can represent the value of a 3-digit binary number (starting from the right). For example, the binary representation for decimal 74 is 1001010. Two zeroes can be added at the left: (00)1 001 010, corresponding to the octal digits 1 1 2, yielding the octal representation 112.
