903 hexadecimal to octal

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 903 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 903 from hexadecimal to octal are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 903 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 903 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 903 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 903 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

3 × 16⁰ = 3
0 × 16¹ = 0
9 × 16² = 2304

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:

3 + 0 + 2304 = 2307

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.

2307 ÷ 8 = 288 with 3 remainder
288 ÷ 8 = 36 with 0 remainder
36 ÷ 8 = 4 with 4 remainder
4 ÷ 8 = 0 with 4 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 903 hexadecimal to octal:

903 hexadecimal = 4403 octal
