The hexadecimal equivalence of the octal number 377 is:

Step 1: Convert Octal (377) to Binary

Each octal digit represents a group of 3 bits.

• 3 in binary = 011

• 7 in binary = 111

• 7 in binary = 111

So, 377 (Octal) = 011111111 (Binary)

Step 2: Convert Binary to Hexadecimal

To get Hexadecimal, we group the binary bits in sets of 4, starting from the right (LSB).

• Group 1 (Right): 1111

• Group 2 (Left): 1111

• Remaining: 0 (we can ignore this)

Step 3: Convert the Groups to Hex Values

• 1111 in binary = 15 in decimal = F in Hexadecimal.

• 1111 in binary = 15 in decimal = F in Hexadecimal.

Result: FF
