CA6C hexadecimal to octal

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number CA6C 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 CA6C from hexadecimal to octal are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in CA6C by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in CA6C by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in CA6C by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in CA6C by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

C × 16⁰ = 12
6 × 16¹ = 96
A × 16² = 2560
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:

12 + 96 + 2560 + 49152 = 51820

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.

51820 ÷ 8 = 6477 with 4 remainder
6477 ÷ 8 = 809 with 5 remainder
809 ÷ 8 = 101 with 1 remainder
101 ÷ 8 = 12 with 5 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 CA6C hexadecimal to octal:

CA6C hexadecimal = 145154 octal
