@lilaussiegirl It's called octal or base-8 system. Like metric system, but it uses 0-7 rather than 0-9. Also it's very useful to know 8 times if you want to work at programming later on. Base-8 is used a lot in computing. One byte is 8 bits, so if you, for example, see a network connection saying it has 8 megabits per second (Mbps or Mb/s) speed it means you can download 1 megabyte per second (MBps or MB/s)
