It would also mean that 7 (8 digits which includes 0) is the highest numeric
representation that you can have or go up to in an octal representation.
So to take your example and represent an octal number :
00100010 (subscript 2) = 1057(subscript 8)

Hi again
I'm trying to learn about octal numbers and I don't understand this:
Binary: 00100010
breakdown: (001)= 1 (000)= 0 (101)=5 (111)=7
I know it's similar to unix permissions, but I'm not understanding where for
example: 111 = 7
Correction
I said:
1 x 10^9 = 512
0 x 10^8 = 0
0 x 10^7 = 0
0 x 10^6 = 0
1 x 10^5 = 32
0 x 10^4 = 0
1 x 10^3 = 8
1 x 10^2 = 4
1 x 10^1 = 2
1 x 10^0 = 1
It should have been:
1 x 2^9 = 512
0 x 2^8 = 0
0 x 2^7 = 0
0 x 2^6 = 0
1 x 2^5 = 32
0 x 2^4 = 0
1 x 2^3 = 8
1 x 2^2 = 4
1 x 2^1 = 2
