How to convert
To convert a binary number to octal, the process involves grouping the binary digits into sets of three (starting from the right), and then converting each group to its octal equivalent
Group the binary digits into sets of three, starting from the right:
101101 = (101) (101)
If there aren't enough digits to make a full set of three, add leading zeros:
1101 = (001) (101)
Convert each 3-bit group to its octal equivalent using the following table for conversions:
| Binary | Octal |
|---|---|
| 000 | 0 |
| 001 | 1 |
| 010 | 2 |
| 011 | 3 |
| 100 | 4 |
| 101 | 5 |
| 110 | 6 |
| 111 | 7 |
Write down the octal digits:
1101 = (001) (101) = 15
