Question
Which of the following pairs of octal and binary numbers are NOT equal?
The correct answer is
(11010)2 = (62)8
The key relationship is that 8 = 2^3, which means each digit in an octal number corresponds to exactly three digits in a binary number. It's often used as a compact way to represent binary numbers because 8 is a power of 2 (2^3). Therefore, the correct answer is (11010) 2 = (62) 8.
