838B hexadecimal to octal

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 838B 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 838B from hexadecimal to octal are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 838B by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 838B by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 838B by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 838B by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

B × 16⁰ = 11
8 × 16¹ = 128
3 × 16² = 768
8 × 16³ = 32768

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 + 128 + 768 + 32768 = 33675

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.

33675 ÷ 8 = 4209 with 3 remainder
4209 ÷ 8 = 526 with 1 remainder
526 ÷ 8 = 65 with 6 remainder
65 ÷ 8 = 8 with 1 remainder
8 ÷ 8 = 1 with 0 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 838B hexadecimal to octal:

838B hexadecimal = 101613 octal
