Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 5EC 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 5EC from hexadecimal to octal are explained below.
Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 5EC by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 5EC by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 5EC by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 5EC by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.
C × 16⁰ = 12
E × 16¹ = 224
5 × 16² = 1280
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:
12 + 224 + 1280 = 1516
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.
1516 ÷ 8 = 189 with 4 remainder
189 ÷ 8 = 23 with 5 remainder
23 ÷ 8 = 2 with 7 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 5EC hexadecimal to octal:
5EC hexadecimal = 2754 octal
