Octal to Hexadecimal Converter

The Octal to Hexadecimal Converter is a tool that transforms octal numbers (base-8) into their hexadecimal (base-16) representation. This conversion is particularly useful in computer science and digital systems where both number systems are commonly used.

How to use this converter:

1. Enter one or more octal numbers in the input field (separated by spaces)
2. Click the "Convert to Hexadecimal" button or enable auto-processing
3. View the hexadecimal equivalent in the output field

Examples:

• 10 in octal = 8 in hexadecimal
• 17 in octal = F in hexadecimal
• 377 in octal = FF in hexadecimal

How octal to hexadecimal conversion works:

The most reliable method to convert octal to hexadecimal is to first convert the octal number to decimal, and then convert the decimal number to hexadecimal:

1. Convert octal to decimal: Each digit in an octal number represents a power of 8. For example, octal 17:

   1 × 8^1 + 7 × 8^0 = 8 + 7 = 15 (decimal)

2. Convert decimal to hexadecimal: Divide the decimal number by 16 repeatedly and collect the remainders. For decimal 15:

   15 ÷ 16 = 0 remainder 15 (which is F in hexadecimal) Result: F

Applications:

• Computer programming and system development
• Digital electronics and hardware design
• Converting between different file permission notations in Unix/Linux
• Memory addressing and data representation
