Episode 14 — Understanding Decimal and Octal Notation
In this episode, we expand your number system knowledge by covering decimal and octal notation for the CompTIA IT Fundamentals (ITF+) certification exam. Decimal, the base-10 system, is the one most of us use daily, but in IT, it has specific applications, such as in IP addressing and subnetting. Octal, the base-8 system, has historical significance in computing and still appears in certain legacy systems and permission settings.
We’ll explore practical scenarios where decimal and octal come into play, giving you the context to recognize their importance on the exam. You’ll also learn how to convert between number systems, ensuring you can handle any related question with speed and accuracy. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com.
