Octal to Hexadecimal Conversions can be helpful when working across operating systems or older environments that still use octal values for file permissions and other numbering systems. Converting between the bases allows for easier transference of data between formats.
Octal is a notation for representing integers in base-8. In this system, the digits are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. Because it uses powers of 8, octal numbers can easily represent binary numbers by grouping the digits in units of 3 (since 23 = 8). File permissions on UNIX/Linux are specified using an octal notation for this reason.
Hexadecimal is a base-16 numbering system that uses 16 distinct symbols (hexadecium in Latin) to represent numbers. The base-16 digits are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F - where 10 is represented by A, 11 by B, and so on up to 15 which is F.
