ans is 2

z= 260*2*8^3 + 73*8^3+ 129*2*8^2 + 81 + 9
z=593*8^3 + 258*8^2 + 88 + 2
dividing z by 8 we get remainder as 2 which forms Lsb of octal number and qoutient is
q1 = 593*8^2 + 258*8 + 11
dividing q1 by 8 we get remainder as 3 which forms second last digit of number and qoutient q2 as
q2 = 593*8 + 258 + 1 = 593*8 + 256 +3
dividing by 8 we get remainder as 3 which forms next digit of octal number and qoutient q3 as
q3 = 593+32
on solving further we see that there are only these two 3 that come as remainder...
so we get two 3 in the octal number
