7 is 1 less than the base, so it is just
like 9 in base 10
--------------------------
Likewise, the number after 7 in the base 8
is 10. This 10 represents 8 in the base 10
---------------------------
So, the 3 numbers in base 8 which follow 7
are +10, 11, and 12+ ( answer )
---------------------------
In base 10 these numbers would be
8,9, and 10
