We (humans) normally count in tens. So we have big numbers represented, in decimal form by the number of thousands, hundreds, tens, units, tenths, hundredths and so on. The place for each digit is ten times that to the right. The octal (or base 8) system does the same but with powers of 8.

What are the first ten counting numbers for base eight?

In base eight, the counting numbers are represented as follows: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12. The numbers 1-7 are the same as in base ten, but the number 8 is represented as 10 in base eight, and the pattern continues from there. This is because in base eight, each place value represents a power of 8 instead of 10 as in base ten.
