Octal to HEX Converter

Introduction

Our Octal to HEX Converter is a free and easy-to-use online tool that allows you to convert octal numbers to hexadecimal numbers. Octal number system uses the digits from 0 to 7. Hexadecimal number system uses the digits from 0 to A = 10, B = 11, C = 12, D = 13, E =14 and F = 15.

This converter is useful for both computer scientists (programmers) and students alike. Computer programmers apply it in writing codes, as octal numerals allow frequently paired or grouped binary numerals, which are more easily methodized than corresponding decimal systems of numerals. Therefore, conversion of numerical systems back and forth forms part of these operations that happen with numeral systems of programming languages.

What Is Octal to HEX?

Octal and hexadecimal are number systems used in computing. The octal system uses a base of 8 (digits 0-7), and the hexadecimal system uses a base of 16 (digits 0-9, letters A-F). Converting from octal to hexadecimal means converting the number from its base-8 form to its equivalent value in base-16 notation. Our Octal to HEX Converter does it instantly for you so you don't have to perform any calculations manually.

Example being the octal number 127 converts to the hexadecimal number 57. Using our tool, this conversion would be performed effectively instantaneously.

Formula for Converting Octal to HEX

• Binary to Octal: Each three consecutive binary digits can be converted into an octal digit. The binary equivalent of 0 in octal is equal to 000.
  
• Just Group Binary Digits: Take the binary digits and add them in groups of 4 (start from the right side and do not forget to append 0’s accordingly)
• Binary to Hex Conversion: Every group of 4 binary numbers converts to one hexadecimal digit. Like (0101=5, 1111=F).

For instance, let us convert octal 127 to hex

Octal 1 = 001, 2 = 010, 7 = 111 →  001010111

It's Group 0010 1011 → Hex 2B
