The octal number system, or oct for short, is one type of Number
6, 7. Any other digit would make the number an invalid octal number. It
more significant than the previous position, that means numeric value of
the value of the position in which the digit appears and then adding the
products.

Solution:
1. Write the three-bit binary digit for 1, 5, 2, 2 and 5.
Octal 1 5 2 . 2 5
Binary 001 101 010 . 010 101
Solution:
1. Make pairs of three bits on both sides of the binary point.
Note: On the left side of the binary point, the last pair has only two bits. To make
it a complete pair of three bits, we added a zero on the extreme side.

Solution:
1. Make pairs of three bits on both sides of the binary point.
Note: On the right side of the binary point, the last pair has only one bit. To make
it a complete pair of three bits, you must two zeros on the extreme side.

decimal. The process starts from multiplying the digits of octal numbers
with its corresponding positional weights. And lastly, we add all those
products.

1. Make the pairs of four bits on both sides of the binary point. If there
will be one, two, or three bits left in a pair of four bits pair, we add
the required number of zeros on extreme sides.

Closure
Having been explained the concept & importance of the other digital
number systems such as the octal and hexadecimal numbers, we can now explore
in the next lesson which will be about binary codes. The next lesson will deepen
our insights on how the digital system using binary translates the reality of today’s
world.
