Your answer :
.437510 = .438.
You got the digits of the answer in the wrong order.
.4375  ×  8 integral part,  1st product →  3.5000  ← fractional part,  1st product  ×  8 integral part,  2nd product →  4.0000  ← fractional part,  2nd product
The digits of the octal fraction are the integral parts of the successive products, written in the order in which they were obtained. Thus .437510 = .348.
Now return to Page 242 and select the right answer.
