Octal Number System Class 7 Notes

The octal number system is a base-8 system using digits 0 to 7, commonly used in computing to simplify binary representation. Conversion methods include multiplying octal digits by powers of 8 for decimal conversion and dividing decimal numbers by 8 to obtain octal values. Examples illustrate both conversions, such as 72₈ to 58₁₀ and 65₁₀ to 101₈.

Octal Number System - Class 7 Notes

1. What is the Octal Number System?


The octal number system is a number system that uses 8 digits: 0 to 7. It is also
known as the base-8 number system.

2. Why is it used?
It is often used in computer systems as a shorter way to represent binary numbers.
1 octal digit = 3 binary digits (bits).

3. Example of Octal Numbers:


25₈, 17₈, 76₈ (The subscript 8 shows it's an octal number).

4. Converting Octal to Decimal:


Multiply each digit by 8 raised to the power of its position (from right, starting at 0).
Example:
72₈ = (7 × 8¹) + (2 × 8⁰)
= (7 × 8) + (2 × 1)
= 56 + 2 = 58₁₀

5. Converting Decimal to Octal:


Divide the decimal number by 8, write down the remainder, and continue dividing
until the quotient is 0. Then, read the remainders in reverse.
Example:
Convert 65₁₀ to octal:
65 ÷ 8 = 8 remainder 1
8 ÷ 8 = 1 remainder 0
1 ÷ 8 = 0 remainder 1
So, 65₁₀ = 101₈
