Octal

adjective of, relating to, or being a number system with a base of eight

Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary

Octal

Number base eight. The octal number representation uses the digits 0-7 only, with the right-most digit counting ones, the next counting multiples of 8, then 8^2 = 64, etc. For example, octal 177 is digital 127. Octal representation used to be widespread back when many computers used six-bit bytes, as six-bits can be conveniently written as a two-digit octal number. Since nowadays a byte is almost always eight bits long, the octal system lost most of its appeal to the hexadecimal system. For a brief discussion on the word `octal' see hexadecimal.
