    As of time of writing, octal is not needed in any of the GCSE specifications. It does appear in the ASCII table but you probably won't even use these values. If they do appear in your exam, you will have the provided information required to answer the question.

    How many octal numbers that start with a digit greater but not equal than 5 can be written by using no more than 6 digits?
    Community Answer
    You have 2 choices for the first digit (6 or 7), followed by up to 5 digits which can be any of the 8 base 8 digits. Set it up as 2(1 + 8 + 8^2 + 8^3 + 8^4 + 8^5), or realise that the geometric series simplifies to 2(8^6-1)/7. Whichever way you choose to compute it, you will find 74898 number satisfying your constraint.
