Base-32 number system uses 32 symbols to code information. Most commonly, these symbols are, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 'A to V' (or alternatively 'a to v').
Definition of Octal Number System: The octal number system is the base-8 number system, and uses the digits 0 to 7. That is to say 10octal represents eight and 100octal represents sixty-four.
In the early phase of modern computer development, 6-bit, 12-bit binary words were vastly used. Octal numbers were ideal for abbreviating those words. In the current times, however, 32-bit, 64-bits and even bigger binary words are used in computers.
