Octal to Binary Converter

An Octal to Binary Converter is a tool or algorithm that converts octal numbers (base-8) to binary numbers (base-2). In octal numbering system, each digit represents a power of 8. The conversion process involves converting each digit of the octal number into its equivalent binary representation and then combining them together.

Here's a step-by-step process to convert an octal number to binary:

v Write down the octal number.

v Replace each octal digit with its equivalent 3-bit binary representation.

v Combine the binary representations obtained in step 2 to get the final binary equivalent.

For example, let's convert the octal number 56 to binary:

1.      Write down the octal number: 56

2.      Replace each octal digit with its equivalent 3-bit binary representation:

·  5 in octal is 101 in binary.

·  6 in octal is 110 in binary.

3.      Combine the binary representations obtained:

·  56 in octal is 101110 in binary.

So, the binary equivalent of the octal number 56 is 101110.

You can use online converters or write a program in a programming language like Python to automate this conversion process.
