FAQ
Group the binary digits into sets of 3 from the right, then convert each group to its octal digit. For example, 110101 → 110 101 → 6 5 → octal 65.
Each octal digit (0–7) represents exactly 3 binary bits, making octal a natural shorthand for binary. This is why octal is commonly used in Unix file permissions.
