C389 hexadecimal to octal

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number C389 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 C389 from hexadecimal to octal are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in C389 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in C389 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in C389 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in C389 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

9 × 16⁰ = 9
8 × 16¹ = 128
3 × 16² = 768
C × 16³ = 49152

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 + 128 + 768 + 49152 = 50057

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.

50057 ÷ 8 = 6257 with 1 remainder
6257 ÷ 8 = 782 with 1 remainder
782 ÷ 8 = 97 with 6 remainder
97 ÷ 8 = 12 with 1 remainder
12 ÷ 8 = 1 with 4 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 C389 hexadecimal to octal:

C389 hexadecimal = 141611 octal
