Fun Fact
Octal gained popularity in early computing because three binary bits map exactly to one octal digit. This made it significantly easier for programmers to read machine-level data before hexadecimal became dominant.
Historical Context
In the early days of computing, particularly during the 1950s and 1960s, octal notation was widely used in systems such as mainframes and minicomputers. Because many early machines operated on 12-bit, 24-bit, or 36-bit word sizes, octal representation aligned cleanly with hardware architecture. Although hexadecimal later became the industry standard, octal remains historically significant and is still used in Unix file permission systems and certain legacy environments.
