2BE hexadecimal to octal

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 2BE 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 2BE from hexadecimal to octal are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 2BE by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 2BE by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 2BE by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 2BE by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

E × 16⁰ = 14
B × 16¹ = 176
2 × 16² = 512

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:

14 + 176 + 512 = 702

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.

702 ÷ 8 = 87 with 6 remainder
87 ÷ 8 = 10 with 7 remainder
10 ÷ 8 = 1 with 2 remainder
1 ÷ 8 = 0 with 1 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 2BE hexadecimal to octal:

2BE hexadecimal = 1276 octal
