Question

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

Answer 1

`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`

`64color(white)(000)100`
