BE 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 numberBE:

B16 = 10112

E16 = 11102

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: 10 111 110

With Zeros: 010 111 110

Convert each group of binary digits to its octal equivalent:

0102 = 28

1112 = 78

1102 = 68
