Each octal digit is equivalent to three binary digits; each hexadecimal digit is equal to four binary digits. I think the best way to do this conversion is to convert each octal digit into the binary equivalent (3 digits in each case - don't omit the zeros on the left), then convert the binary to hexadecimal by grouping four binary digits at a time (starting from the right).

Note that nowadays, most scientific calculators - including the calculator that comes included in Windows - have the ability to do this sort of conversion. If you want to practice doing it yourself, you can still use the Windows calculator to check your calculations.
