Hello,

Well,

As you know, computers don?t run on Octal or Hex, they run on Binary, just 0 and 1. Octal and Hex are ways of displaying the value as a representation of binary.
Octal groups together 3 binary digits, values 0-7, and Hex groups together 4 binary digits, values 0-15, displayed as 0-F.

So, the conversion of Octal to Hex is simply grouping the binary digits from 3 to 4 together.

Please explain more on what your criteria is for this conversion.

Thanks,

David

Hello again,

Also, try to use more discriptive subjects. A good on for this might be:
