Octal to Hex

Octal to hexadecimal conversion is the process of converting an octal (base-8) number into its hexadecimal (base-16) representation.

In the octal system, numbers are represented using the digits 0 through 7.

Steps to Convert Octal to Hexadecimal

Here are the steps to convert an octal number to hexadecimal:

  1. Convert the octal number to its binary equivalent.
  2. Group the binary digits into sets of four, starting from the right.
  3. Convert each group of four binary digits to its equivalent hexadecimal representation.
  4. If necessary, add leading zeros to make the leftmost group have four digits.
  5. Concatenate the hexadecimal representations to get the final result.

Example

Let's take an example to illustrate the process. Suppose we want to convert the octal number 345 to hexadecimal:

  1. Convert the octal number 345 to its binary equivalent. Result: 011 100 101.
  2. Group the binary digits into sets of four from the right. You may add leading zeroes if required to the leftmost group. Result: 0000 1110 0101.
  3. Convert each group to hexadecimal. Result: 0 E 5.
  4. The hexadecimal equivalent is E5.

Therefore, 345 in octal is equal to E5 in hexadecimal.
