How to convert Binary to Octal?

How do you convert binary to octal? I remember doing it ages ago but I cant find it in my notes and I cant find it on the internet

It's the same process as converting to and from hexadecimal, except whereas each hexadecimal digit represents 4 bits, each octal digit represents 3.

For example, the (big-endian) binary number 10101110 can be split into three groups. Starting from the left, the first three numbers are 110, which is 6 in decimal/octal. The second three digits - 101 - are 5 in decimal/octal, and the final two are 10, which is 2. Put these numbers together and you get 256.

Are you sure you know your left from your right?

You seem to have worked it out from the correct end anyway
