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:
- Convert the octal number to its binary equivalent.
- Group the binary digits into sets of four, starting from the right.
- Convert each group of four binary digits to its equivalent hexadecimal representation.
- If necessary, add leading zeros to make the leftmost group have four digits.
- 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:
- Convert the octal number 345 to its binary equivalent. Result: 011 100 101.
- 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.
- Convert each group to hexadecimal. Result: 0 E 5.
- The hexadecimal equivalent is E5.
Therefore, 345 in octal is equal to E5 in hexadecimal.
