Octal and hexadecimal are two numeric systems used in computer programming and electronics to represent numbers and other information using a set of digits.
Octal uses eight distinct symbols or digits to represent values, 0 through 7. Each place value in an octal number represents a power of 8. Octal is useful because most computer machines use groupings of 3 bits for binary encoding, so octal allows humans to interpret binary in groups of 3 rather than single bits. Common uses include number representations, encoding computer addresses in memory, encoding character sets like ASCII.
Hexadecimal uses sixteen distinct symbols, 0–9 to represent values zero to nine and A, B, C, D, E, F to represent values ten to fifteen. Each place value in a hexadecimal number represents a power of 16. Hexadecimal is commonly used to represent binary data in compact form, provide an alphanumeric representation of binary, and t - q96xlu65cp - https://webtoolsmate.com/octal-to-hexadecimal?unique_id_0n3fdx5o
