Being a mathematical nit mostly, and do not want to keep you up at night. When we talk about numbering systems in base X, it doesn’t include the digit for X. Hexadecimal includes 0-9 and A-[F]. Decimal includes 0-9 so not A (the symbol for 10). Octal (base 8) includes 0-7.
So 83 can’t be an octal number.
But then in the end I realized you were converting from decimal to octal, in which case, yes, it’s 123. I am a total derp.
There no 8 in base 8. Just as there’s no A in base 10.
Sorry, I’m ready to go to bed, but are you making a joke about the number used to denote the base of number systems being written in base 10?
