1.2.2 Decimal to Octal
The steps to be followed are:
1. Divide the number by 8 and store the remainder of the division separately.
2. Assign quotient as the new number (dividend).
3. Repeat steps 1 & 2 until new number = 0.
4. Arrange the remainders from bottom (LSD) to top (MSD) to get the result.
5. For decimal part, repeat step 6 until fractional part becomes 0 or till four places after decimal.
6. Multiply fractional part by 8 and store the integer part of the product separately.
7. Arrange the octal digits of the integer part from top to bottom for the result of the fractional part.
The conversion of decimal to octal is similar to binary, but the divisor here is base value 8. For the fractional part, the
same procedure is to be followed as in binary number conversion.
Example 1: Convert (39) to octal.
