What's the difference between octal numbers and decimal numbers?

1 Answer

0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7

Explanation:

The octal numbering system uses 8 digits (this is compared to the decimal system using 10 digits). The octal system uses:

0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7

To see how this works, let's compare a few decimal numbers to octal numbers:

"D" color(white)(000) "O"

1color(white)(0000)1

7color(white)(0000)7

8color(white)(0000)10

10color(white)(000)12
