Example: Convert the denary number 13351 to octal.
4096 512 64 8 1
For each column from left to right: 13351 Find how many times the weighting 3x4096 = -12288 is included in the denary number. 1063 That number is the octal digit 2x512 = -1024 1, 2, ..., 7 for that column. 39 Subtract that number of weightings 0x64 = -0 from the denary number. 39 4x8 = -32 7 7x1 = -7 The complete octal number is: 32047 0
