CONCEPT:
Following are the steps to convert decimal to octal:
1. If the provided decimal number is less than the number 8 then the octal number is the same
2. If the provided decimal number is larger than 7 then divide it by number 8.
3. take a note of the remainder, received after division

4. Repeat step 2 and 3 with the quotient until it is less than 8
5. Now,note the remainders in the reverse order (bottom to top)
6. The resultant thus received is the equivalent octal number to the provided decimal number.

• Hence, $(432267{)}_{10}=(1514213{)}_8$
