Represents 8 types of digits from 0 to 7, so the base of number system is 8. It takes exactly three binary digits to represent an octal digit. Similar to binary number system, it is also positional system and has two parts i.e. integer and fractional part separated by radix point (.).
Octal to all conversion
Octal to Binary conversion
Steps :
- Replace each octal digit by its 3-bit equivalent binary.
Example:
(2351.23)8 = ( 010 011 101 001 . 010 011 )2 = (010011101001.010011)2
Octal to Decimal conversion
Steps:
- Multiply each bit by 8n, where n is the weight of the bit.
- Weight is calculated by the position of bit, starting from 0 on the right.
- Add the results.
Example:
Octal to Hexadecimal conversion
Steps:
- Replace each octal digit by its 3-bit equivalent binary.
- Group four bits starting from right for integer part and left for fractional part.
- Convert to hexadecimal digits.
Example:
