    1.2.14. What is the octal format of the string 00111000BCD?

    ANSWER:
    First step: You MUST obtain the decimal value (There is no other way!):
    Be careful each digit is a binary digit (You cannot expand it)

    00111000BCD = 38 10 = 100110 2 = 46 8

    These steps are similar when it is necessary to obtain the hex format of a string in bcd format.
    The difference is in the third step.
