270A hexadecimal to octal

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 270A 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 270A from hexadecimal to octal are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 270A by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 270A by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 270A by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 270A by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

A × 16⁰ = 10
0 × 16¹ = 0
7 × 16² = 1792
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:

10 + 0 + 1792 + 8192 = 9994

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.

9994 ÷ 8 = 1249 with 2 remainder
1249 ÷ 8 = 156 with 1 remainder
156 ÷ 8 = 19 with 4 remainder
19 ÷ 8 = 2 with 3 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 270A hexadecimal to octal:

270A hexadecimal = 23412 octal
