Thus the 9-bit binary number 101011100 can be split into three groups of three bits, 101 011 100, each of which can be converted to octal, 5 3 4, making the octal representation 5348. If a binary number is not an exact multiple of 3 bits, pad with zeroes until it is. Note that all bases that are a power of 2 are directly related to binary. A single base-4 digit represents two binary digits, while a base-8 digit represents three bits, base-16 every four bits, and so on.
