We convert the binary number without a negative sign and place it after the conversion.
We convert each group of binary numbers to octal and write them in the same order.
( 1100.11011 )2 = ( 14.66 )8
Finally we place the negative sign in front.
( 1100.11011 )2 = ( 14.66 )8
OTHER INFORMATION
To convert a binary number to octal we can partition the binary number into groups of three bits.
In case, we have a whole number without a binary point we start with the ones digit and proceed to the left.
In case, we have a number with a fractional part starting at the binary point, we proceed to the left in the whole part and we proceed to the right in the fractional part.
If the number of bits is less than 3 in the last group
