To convert the decimal number 181 to octal, divide it by 8 and continue dividing the quotient by 8 until you get a quotient of zero, keeping track of the remainders. For 181: 181 / 8 = 22 remainder 5, 22 / 8 = 2 remainder 6, 2 / 8 = 0 remainder 2. Reading the remainders from bottom to top gives 265 in octal, so the correct answer is $265 _ { 8 }$.
