A8F Hex in Octal

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 numberA8F:

A16 = 10102

816 = 10002

F16 = 11112

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: 101 010 001 111

With Zeros: 101 010 001 111

Convert each group of binary digits to its octal equivalent:

1012 = 58

0102 = 28

0012 = 18

1112 = 78
