Get Acquainted with the Octal Numeral System
There is another numeral system called octal. In comparison to binary or decimal, it consists of 8 digits, starting with zero: 0

,2

.
If you wonder why it was implemented, I want to clarify something.
Usage
As you remember the number in binary representation consists of several digits, one bite for each of them; but in an octal numeral system, three binary digits represent one octal. Therefore, you can represent one word for the computer using fewer symbols. Enormous strings of binary code can be represented in a more beautiful way for the computer; hence, less memory is filled. The principle of converting a number to the decimal system from octal one is the same as with binary:As you remember the number in binary representation consists of several digits, one bite for each of them; but in an octal numeral system, three binary digits represent one octal.

Rule
Algorithms of converting to decimal numeral system overlap for different numeral systems. Here is the same for octal number 221: the index of the left number 2 is 2, the index of the middle number 2 is 1 and the index of the number 1 is zero; but here we should multiply the numbers by 8 raised to the power of index. Hence, 221
-> 2*8^2
+2*8^1
+2*8^0
=128
+16
+2
=146

Doing as many tasks as possible is a recipe for success! Write the code that will decode the number 117 from the octal numeral system to decimal. Fill the gaps and follow the algorithm. If everything is correct you will receive one special number 🧐 But the explanation is waiting for you at the end of this chapter.
- Print the
octal_number
. - Define the loop which goes through the
octal_number
variable till it is zero. - Assign the remainder of division
octal_number
by10
to the variable last_digit. - Multiply the received
last_digit
by the8
raised to the relevant power. - Decrease the
octal_number
using integer division by10

Note
I think you received 142857 which is called a cyclic number. Let me explain why:
142857 x 1 = 142857
142857 x 2 = 285714
142857 x 3 = 428571
142857 x 4 = 571428
142857 x 5 = 714285
142857 x 6 = 857142
. As you can recognize such multiplication results in a new number that is the same, but digits located in a different order; it creates a cycle. Another interesting fact for you🙄.
