Converting a hexadecimal number to octal without a calculator involves first converting the hexadecimal number to binary, then grouping the binary digits into groups of three, and finally converting each group to its octal equivalent. Here's a step-by-step guide for hexadecimal numberA3:

A16 = 10102

316 = 00112

Group the binary digits into groups of three, starting from the right. If the last group has fewer than three digits, pad it with zeros on the left.

Binary: 10 100 011

With Zeros: 010 100 011

Convert each group of binary digits to its octal equivalent:

0102 = 28

1002 = 48

0112 = 38
