0x11A is in hex, and to convert it to dec is
1*16^2 + 1*16^1 +10*16^0
(A=10,B=11, C=12, D=13, E=14, F=15)

I may be wrong, but I think octal is in x0# format, so that 
0x0300 would be an octal number.
To convert that to dec is
just 3*8^2+0*8^1+0*8^0, and ignore the leading 0 after x, which is used to
idenbtify the radix.

Binary...well, is binary.

HTH, 
 Andrew
