Consider a base $16$ adder. How can I modify the adder so that it can perform a base $8$ addition?

I expect this question will appear in my exam tomorrow; if anyone can give me a hint or a solution, I'd be grateful. I've tried searching the net and my textbook to get some insight, but nothing is clicking.
