Octal to Hexadecimal Converter

What is Octal?

Octal is a base-8 numeral system, using digits from 0 to 7. It is sometimes used in computing as a more compact form of binary data.

What is Hexadecimal?

Hexadecimal is a base-16 numeral system, using digits from 0 to 9 and letters A to F. It is commonly used in computing to represent large binary values in a more compact form.

How to Convert Octal to Hexadecimal?

To convert an octal number to hexadecimal, follow these steps:

First, convert the octal number to binary. Then, group the binary number into groups of four digits (starting from the right). Convert each group into a hexadecimal digit.

The process looks like this:

1. Convert the octal number to binary. 2. Group the binary number in sets of four. 3. Convert each group of four binary digits into a hexadecimal digit.

Example

Convert 13 (octal) to hexadecimal:

First, convert 13 (octal) to binary: 13 (octal) = 001 011 (binary).

Then, group the binary into sets of four: 001 011 becomes 0001 1011.

Finally, convert each group to hexadecimal: 0001 = 1 and 1011 = B.

Thus, 13 (octal) = 1B (hexadecimal).
