Okay, but now when I see the number "10" how do I know if it's a ten or an eight? Easy: Unless specified otherwise, it's ten. To do anything else would be very confusing. When a number is octal, it will be indicated with a subscript 8, like so: 10<sub>8</sub> = 8.

{{Note|1=For single digit numbers, this distinction is irrelevant. 5<sub>8</sub> = 5<sub>10</sub>, and an 8 or a 9 has to be base 10 because octal doesn't use those symbols.}}Here are some common values in octal and decimal for comparison:
