Example 127662

1*85	2*84	7*83	6*82	6*81	2*80
1*32768	2*4096	7*512	6*64	6*8	2*1
32768	8192	3584	384	48	2

 

32768 + 8192 + 3584 + 384 + 48 + 2 = 44978

 

Decimal to Octal Conversion
To convert decimal to octal is slightly more difficult. The typical method to convert from decimal to octal is repeated division by 8.

For this method, divide the decimal number by 8, and write the remainder on the side as the least significant digit. This process is continued by dividing he quotient by 8 and writing the remainder until the quotient is 0.

When performing the division, the remainders which will represent the octal equivalent of the decimal number are written beginning at the least significant digit (right) and each new digit is written to the next more significant digit (the left) of the previous digit.

Consider the number 44978.
