A technician is debugging a piece of software and needs to convert an error code from decimal to octal format. The error code is 10 in decimal. What is the corresponding value in octal?
14
10
12
8
The correct answer is 12. Octal is a base-8 number system that uses digits from 0 to 7. To convert the decimal number 10 to octal, you divide 10 by 8, which results in a quotient of 1 and a remainder of 2. The next step is to divide the quotient (1) by 8, which gives a remainder of 1. Reading the remainders from bottom to top yields 12. Alternatively, converting the octal number 12 back to decimal confirms the answer: (1 * 81) + (2 * 80) = 8 + 2 = 10.
