Input field

• Enter Octal Number: Add a whole number like 75, 123, or 777.

What the output shows

• Binary: The base 2 result, grouped in fours for easy reading.
• Decimal Value: The base 10 value with clear formatting.
• Conversion Details: Each octal digit maps to three bits, plus a final result with leading zeros removed.

Accurate Results

The binary line groups bits in fours, which helps with long values. The decimal value gives a simple cross check. Conversion Details list each digit map, then show the final bits without leading zeros.

Very long inputs may exceed JavaScript number limits. For long values, rely on the Result line in Conversion Details, since it builds the bits per digit.
