### How to write a number in base 8?

For complete explanations on how to convert from $N_1$ base to $N_2$ base, see the base-N conversion tool.

Example: 123 in base $10$ (also noted $123_{(10)}$) is equal to 173 in base $8$ (also noted $173_{(8)}$)

### How to convert an octal number?

### How to recognize octal numbers?

The octal numbers can not have a digit $8$ or $9$.

In computer science, it is usual to display an initial zero in front of an octal number to indicate that they are written in base-8.

Example: $12$ in base $8$ is sometimes written $012$ to indicate that it is an octal number.

Any reference to the number eight is a clue.
