I still don't know of a good way to convert directly from hexadecimal to octal (or vice versa) without having to first transfer it to binary or decimal.

4/3 of MY brain fried tryna read that

Oh COME ON! It's not that hard. Start off with memorizing the 16 binary numbers for hex:

0000 = 0
0001 = 1
0010 = 2
0011 = 3
0100 = 4
0101 = 5
0110 = 6
0111 = 7
1000 = 8
1001 = 9
1010 = A
1011 = B
1100 = C
1101 = D
1110 = E
1111 = F

I still don't know of a good way to convert directly from hexadecimal to octal (or vice versa) without having to first transfer it to binary or decimal.

Not sure... Since octal is 8-based, maybe just dividing the hex in two and translating the numbers into octal? Wild guess

Rest of my brain was fried.... And then dipped in acid
Regardless I will probably keep this link for future reference

^^ You'd be taking 3 length 'bytes' (if I may stretch the formalism a bit) in hexadecimal and converting them to 4 length 'bytes' (again, stretching the formalism) in octal. But apart from that, you'd still have to do a bit of conversion in each step. But I think it's easier to convert through binary

For example, A65F38 ->

A65 F38

1010 0110 0101 1111 0011 1000

101 001 100 101 111 100 111 000

AAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHH the numbers!!!!!!!100010101!!!!!

THEY BUUUUUUUUUUUUURN

[Redhollowlives999]

numbers hurt red
if 0001=1
then 27x3859^20001 is equivalent to the mass of ChlorineFlourineOxide condensed with americium
0001 1110 0101 1111 1101

0111 1001 0110 0001 1111 0101 0010

201 1001 221 0110

You're on the right track. I asked my class and got the answer. Split it into sets of three's and turn it into an octal.

decimal (10-base) 301: 0001 0010 1101
group into 3's: 000 100 101 101
Translate to a number: 0455, therefore 301 in octal is 455.

Trying to follow along because I feel inferior... And I hate feeling inferior
.... .. ...
I bet you're notebook is full numbers isn't it?

Ugh I dont get this I'm going home... Or maybe go chase a bus until my heart skips beats
