Is the question $965_8 = x_2?$ If so, there is no answer because 965 is not a legitimate octal number? Or is the question $965_{10} = x_8?$ Or is the question "what is the practical use of octal notations?"

In base of number the digit in presention of number can't be above than the base. So, 965 in octal can't be legitimate because of 9 (9 > 8 ) and in every base the numbers is lower than the base. More example: 1213 in base 2 isn't legitimate 1213 in base 4 is legitimate 555 in base 6 is legitimate 555 in base 5 isn't legitimate (the digit 5 = 5, and it need to be lower than). Understood?

They're very important! They make things like google work well. Google is a very useful site where you can look up this very question.

Octal and hexadecimal are convenient ways to abbreviate binary numbers exactly.

$101,110_2 = 56_8.$

How do I know that?

$101_2 = 5_8 \text { and } 110_2 = 6_8.$

$1010,0001_2 = A1_{16}.$

How do I know that?

$1010_2 = A_{16} \text { and } 0001_2 = 1_{16}.$

It is quicker and less error prone for humans to use octal and hexadecimal than to use binary.
