Based on eight (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

octal

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">based on eight</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for octal that I've seen before include "Of a number system with base eight" , "(Of maths) in base eight" , "Working in base 8" , "Relating to the number 8" , "Using 8 as base (maths)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press.
