Decimal to Octal

We must first become familiar with both number systems before we can convert from decimal to octal. The octal number has a base of 8, whereas the decimal number has a base of 10. Here, we'll translate a decimal number into its octal equivalent. The process is identical to converting any decimal number to binary or hexadecimal.

We divide the number by 2 when converting it from decimal to binary, and by 16 when converting from decimal to hexadecimal. To convert a decimal number to an octal number, divide the value by 8 and write the remainders in the opposite order.
