How to Convert Hexadecimal to Octal

To convert hexadecimal to octal, you can follow a process that involves an intermediate conversion to binary. Here's how you can do it:

Conversion Steps:

  1. Start with your hexadecimal representation. For example, let's use the hexadecimal number "1A3."
  2. Convert the hexadecimal number to binary. Replace each hexadecimal digit with its 4-bit binary equivalent.
    • "1" (hex) is equal to "0001" (binary).
    • "A" (hex) is equal to "1010" (binary).
    • "3" (hex) is equal to "0011" (binary).
  3. Group the binary digits into sets of three, adding leading zeros if necessary.
    • The binary values are grouped as: 000 110 100 011.
  4. Convert each group of binary digits to their octal equivalents.
    • "000" becomes "0" in octal.
    • "110" becomes "6" in octal.
    • "100" becomes "4" in octal.
    • "011" becomes "3" in octal.
  5. Concatenate the octal values to form the complete octal representation.
    • The octal values combine to create the octal representation: "0643."

That's it! You've successfully converted hexadecimal to octal.
