Binary to octal conversion

The process is the reverse of the previous algorithm. The binary digits are grouped by threes, starting from the least significant bit and proceeding to the left and to the right. Add leading 0s (or trailing zeros to the right of decimal point) to fill out the last group of three if necessary. Then replace each trio with the equivalent octal digit.

For instance, convert binary 1010111100 to octal:

001     010     111     100
1        2       7      4

Therefore, 10101111002 = 12748.

Convert binary 11100.01001 to octal:

011     100      .      010     010
3       4    .           2      2

Therefore, 11100.010012 = 34.228.

Binary octal looks alot like cellular automata!!!!
