# Octal | | The **Octal**, or oct for short, is the base-8 positional numeral system, and uses the digits 0 to 7. This is to say that 10octal represents eight and 100octal represents sixty-four. However, English, like most languages, uses a base-10 number system, hence a true octal system might use different vocabulary. | |-|-| | | wikipedia:: [Octal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octal) |
