Answer and Explanation

Needs to 'multiply' a number by the base value 8 in octal.

To convert from octal to decimal, make a table of base 8 multipliers.

8⁵ = 32,768

8⁴ = 4,096

8³ = 512

8² = 64

8¹ = 8

8⁰ = 1

Octal number system is the base of -8 number system which uses the digits zero to seven. while decimal numbers or decimal system uses the positional numeral system 0-9. . It also requires a dot (decimal point) to represent decimal fractions.
