Everything you need to know about decimal to octal conversion
Decimal to octal conversion transforms base-10 numbers (0-9) into base-8 numbers (0-7). Each octal digit represents three binary digits, making it useful in computing and digital systems.
Divide the decimal number by 8 repeatedly, keeping track of remainders. The octal number is formed by reading the remainders from bottom to top. For example: 25 ÷ 8 = 3 remainder 1, 3 ÷ 8 = 0 remainder 3, so 25 decimal = 31 octal.
Octal numbers are used in computing for file permissions (chmod), digital electronics, and as a compact representation of binary data. Each octal digit represents exactly 3 binary digits.
Our converter handles standard integer ranges efficiently. For very large numbers, the conversion follows the same mathematical principles and remains accurate.
Octal provides a more compact way to represent binary data since each octal digit corresponds to exactly 3 binary digits. This makes it easier to read and work with binary patterns in programming and system administration.
