How do you convert dcimal to octal??

How do you convert dcimal to octal??

thanks.

personally, i'd tend to use a scientific calculator -- but if you don't have one available, the other easy thing to do would be to write a small utility in java to do it for you -- in fact, there's at least one utility class that already does most of the work for you, with the signature:
public static String toOctalString(int i) // for strings
you can also use the calculator at this page:

hope that helps, :-)

oh no.. by hand.
Anyone know a easy method to do it on paper?

for example say 35 is decimal number.
than octal form of it would be 43.
you have to divide 35 by 8 your remainder=3 qotient=4
again
divide qotient by 8 your remainder=4 qotient=0
now read remainder from down to up.
you will get 43.

System.out.println(Integer.toOctalString(9));
This will print the octal equivalent of decimal 9.
or you can save you value.
String s = Integer.toOctalString(9);

Hi Fei,
I've got some notes at http://www.janeg.ca/scjp/oper/binhex.html that might help.
