BF29 hexadecimal to octal

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number BF29 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 BF29 from hexadecimal to octal are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in BF29 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in BF29 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in BF29 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in BF29 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

9 × 16⁰ = 9
2 × 16¹ = 32
F × 16² = 3840
B × 16³ = 45056

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:

9 + 32 + 3840 + 45056 = 48937

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.

48937 ÷ 8 = 6117 with 1 remainder
6117 ÷ 8 = 764 with 5 remainder
764 ÷ 8 = 95 with 4 remainder
95 ÷ 8 = 11 with 7 remainder
11 ÷ 8 = 1 with 3 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 BF29 hexadecimal to octal:

BF29 hexadecimal = 137451 octal
