Convert 37.818 into base 10

Question

3 x 8^1 = 24
7 x 8^0= 7

8 x 8^-1 = 1
1 x 8^-2 = 0.015625

(24+7 ) . (1.015625) = 32.015625

I'm trying to convert octal to base 10 i know there is problem with my first decimal. Should i stop at 8 x 8^-1??

its supposed to be (37.81)base 8 – P_P2622 Mar 10 '16 at 06:13 — P_P2622, Mar 10 '16 at 06:13
37.818 is not octal. Unclear what you're asking. – user207421 Sep 17 '17 at 03:11 — user207421, Sep 17 '17 at 03:11
