ACA2 hexadecimal to octal

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number ACA2 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 ACA2 from hexadecimal to octal are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in ACA2 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in ACA2 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in ACA2 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in ACA2 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

2 × 16⁰ = 2
A × 16¹ = 160
C × 16² = 3072
A × 16³ = 40960

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:

2 + 160 + 3072 + 40960 = 44194

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.

44194 ÷ 8 = 5524 with 2 remainder
5524 ÷ 8 = 690 with 4 remainder
690 ÷ 8 = 86 with 2 remainder
86 ÷ 8 = 10 with 6 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 ACA2 hexadecimal to octal:

ACA2 hexadecimal = 126242 octal
