24DB hexadecimal to octal

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 24DB to an octal number. First note that the hexadecimal number system has sixteen different digits (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F) and the octal number system has only eight different digits (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7).

The four steps used to convert 24DB from hexadecimal to octal are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 24DB by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 24DB by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 24DB by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 24DB by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

B × 16⁰ = 11
D × 16¹ = 208
4 × 16² = 1024
2 × 16³ = 8192

Remember that the hexadecimal number system has sixteen different digits, so when doing the above calculation, we use the following values if applicable: A=10, B=11, C=12, D=13, E=14, and F=15.

Step 2)
Next, we add up all the products we got from Step 1, like this:

11 + 208 + 1024 + 8192 = 9435

Step 3)
Now we divide the sum from Step 2 by 8. Put the remainder aside. Then divide the whole part by 8 again, and put the remainder aside again. Keep doing this until the whole part is 0.

9435 ÷ 8 = 1179 with 3 remainder
1179 ÷ 8 = 147 with 3 remainder
147 ÷ 8 = 18 with 3 remainder
18 ÷ 8 = 2 with 2 remainder
2 ÷ 8 = 0 with 2 remainder

Step 4)
In the final step, we take the remainders from Step 3 and put them together in reverse order to get our answer to 24DB hexadecimal to octal:

24DB hexadecimal = 22333 octal
