Conversion from Octal to Binary
Converting a number from octal to binary involves converting each digit of the octal number into its equivalent 3-bit binary representation. For instance, the octal number 73 will be converted to binary by converting 7 to 111 and 3 to 011, resulting in the binary number 111011.
This conversion is commonly used in programming, especially in low-level programming where working with binary numbers is more common. Additionally, it can be useful when dealing with computer memory addresses or permissions represented in octal format but need to be understood in binary for certain operations.
