Hex To Octal

This hex to octal converter will make your life easier than ever before

The Hexadecimal numeral system uses 16 values to represent numbers i.e. 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and the first six alphabets of English language i.e. A-F. on the other hand octal numeral system uses 8 values to represent numbers i.e. 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7.

Both the octal and the Hexadecimal numeral systems have wide applications in computer programming as well as computer engineering. The Hexadecimal numeral system is used to represent a wide range of colors useful in web designing. On the other hand, the Octal numeral system has applications in UNIX based system to grant file permissions to users based on their roles.

While Octal numeral system is also used in the operating systems of UNIX, LINUX as well as Android. Hex values can easily be converted into octal values.

Let’s take an instance we want to convert (48)16 into (octal)8. First, we will convert the corresponding hexadecimal value into octal value. Later convert the binary value into octal value and get our results.

(48)16

4=0100, 8=1000

(01001000)2

We will group these binary values into 3 bits.

001 001 000

1 1 0

Hence we have get our result that is (110)8 against the corresponding hexadecimal value that is (48)16.

However, the manual process is very time-consuming and often involves error.
