Octal to Ternary Table

This octal to ternary table will help you convert ternary numbers to binary.

Octal to Ternary Conversion Table

What is octal?

Octal is a base-8 number system that has eight digits. Octal is used in older computer systems. Like the decimal system, where each digit represents a power of 10, the octal system (base-8) uses a power of 8. Octal’s advantage over binary is that it simplifies the representation of binary numbers making it easier to read and write large numbers. In more recent computer systems octal has been replaced by hexadecimal.

What does octal mean?

The definition of octal is a base-8 number system. The word “octal” is derived from the Latin word “octo,” which means “eight.”

How to convert octal to ternary?

To convert octal to ternary follow the steps below:

1. Convert Octal to Decimal. To do this each digit in the octal number is multiplied by 8 raised to the power of its position.
2. Convert Decimal to Ternary. To do this convert the decimal number obtained in the previous step to ternary. Divide the decimal number by 3 and keep track of the remainder. Once done, write the remainder in reverse order to give the ternary result. This will provide you with your final results.

How is octal similar to ternary

Both octal and ternary are alternative ways of representing numbers and are commonly used in computer systems. One of the key similarities between these alternative number systems us that thee use a limited set of digits: octal uses digits 0 to 7, while ternary uses digits 0 to 2.
