Each octal digit is represented exactly by 3 bits:

0 = 000

1 = 001

2 = 010

3 = 011

4 = 100

5 = 101

6 = 110

7 = 111

Using the normal binary representation of the number.

With a string of octal digits, each digit is the next 3 bits, for example the octal number 04751 is:

04751 = 000 100 111 101 001 in binary

The spaces are for ease of reading, showing each octal digit in binary; without any spacing it becomes: 000100111101001

By changing the spacing to: 000 1001 1110 1001 means it can be easily read in hexadecimal as 0x09e9.
