  1. octal number system

    The octal number system, also known as base-8 number system, is a number system that uses the digits 0-7. In this system, the value of every digit represents an integer based on the power of 8. The farthest digit to the right symbolizes 8^0, the second farthest to the right represents 8^1, and so on. The positions are each sequentially multiplied by 8 as you move to the left in a number. It is often used in computing and programming due to its relationship with the binary system, where each digit in octal can represent three digits in binary.
