859E hexadecimal to octal

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 859E 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 859E from hexadecimal to octal are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 859E by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 859E by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 859E by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 859E by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

E × 16⁰ = 14
9 × 16¹ = 144
5 × 16² = 1280
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:

14 + 144 + 1280 + 32768 = 34206

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.

34206 ÷ 8 = 4275 with 6 remainder
4275 ÷ 8 = 534 with 3 remainder
534 ÷ 8 = 66 with 6 remainder
66 ÷ 8 = 8 with 2 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 859E hexadecimal to octal:

859E hexadecimal = 102636 octal
