Octal Number System Digit Range

The octal number system is a base-8 system. This means it uses eight unique digits to represent numbers.

In any base-$n$ number system, the available digits are from 0 up to $n-1$.

For the octal system, the base ($n$) is 8. Therefore, the digits range from 0 up to $8-1$.

Calculating the upper limit: $8 - 1 = 7$.

The digits used in the octal number system are precisely 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.

Hence, the correct range for octal number system digits is 0 to 7.
