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.
Base (Radix) As with the other systems, the radix, or base, is the number of symbols used in the system. The octal system uses eight symbols - 0 through 7. The base, or radix, is indicated by the subscript 8. Positional Notation The octal number system is a positional notation number system.Just as the decimal system uses powers of 10 and the binary system uses powers of 2, the octal system uses power of 8 to determine the value of a number's position. The following bar graph shows the positions and the power of the base:he terms that you learned in the decimal and binary sections are also used with the octal system. The unit remains a single object, and the number is still a symbol used to represent one or more units. Base (Radix). As with the other systems, the radix, or base, is the number of symbols used in the system.
