0o15471

0o15471 is a numerical value represented in octal format. The prefix "0o" explicitly indicates that the number is written in base 8, also known as octal. In the octal system, digits range from 0 to 7. To convert 0o15471 to its decimal (base 10) equivalent, each digit is multiplied by the appropriate power of 8 and then summed.

Starting from the rightmost digit, 1 is in the 8^0 position (which is 1). The next digit, 7, is in the 8^1 position (which is 8). The digit 4 is in the 8^2 position (which is 64). The digit 5 is in the 8^3 position (which is 512). Finally, the digit 1 is in the 8^4 position (which is 4096).

Therefore, the decimal conversion is calculated as follows: (1 * 4096) + (5 * 512) + (4 * 64) + (7 * 8) + (1 * 1). This sum equals 4096 + 2560 + 256 + 56 + 1, which results in 6969 in decimal. Thus, 0o15471 is equivalent to the decimal number 6969. Octal representation is sometimes used in computing, particularly in older systems or for specific low-level programming tasks where it can offer a more compact way to represent binary data compared to decimal.
