Octal (pronounced AHK-tuhl , from Latin octo or eight) is a term that describes a base-8 number system. An octal number system consists of eight single-digit numbers: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. The number after 7 is 10. The number after 17 is 20 and so forth. In computer programming, the octal equivalent of a binary number is sometimes used to represent it because it is shorter.
Octal and hexadecimal notation. Because binary notation can be cumbersome, two more compact notations are often used, octal and hexadecimal. Octal notation represents data as base-8 numbers. Each digit in an octal number represents three bits.Similarly, hexadecimal notation uses base-16 numbers, representing four bits with each digit.Octal numbers use only the digits 0-7, while hexadecimal numbers use all ten base-10 digits (0-9) and the letters a-f (representing the numbers 10-15).imilarly, hexadecimal notation uses base-16 numbers, representing four bits with each digit. Octal numbers use only the digits 0-7, while hexadecimal numbers use all ten base-10 digits (0-9) and the letters a-f (representing the numbers 10-15).
