octal
...d of several hundred years, it became the mathematics of the world. One of the major forms of mathematics today is the octal numbers system. Although this was once a popular number base system, it has been transformed to be based mainly on the binary system. The octal number system mainly uses base eight and includes only digests zero through seven. Today the octal number system is a common system use with computers. Because of its relationship with the binary system, it is useful in programming some of the worlds most complexes types of computers. A binary number with a large number of digits can be suitably written in an octal form with fewer digits. This is because one octal digit actually represents three binary digits. The binary number system requires a ton of digits to represent a large number. A decimal number like 1,000,000 ("1 million") would need a lot of binary digits....
