Octal to Decimal

To convert an octal number to a decimal number:

1.Starting from the right, multiply the least significant (rightmost) octal digit by the first placeholder value. Moving towards the left, multiply each new octal digit by its corresponding placeholder value until the octal number is exhausted.

To establish placeholder values, the first placeholder value on the far right is 1. Then for each new placeholder value to the left, multiply the value to the right by 8.

2.Add the results of the multiplications in Step 1.
