CD43 hexadecimal to octal

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number CD43 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 CD43 from hexadecimal to octal are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in CD43 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in CD43 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in CD43 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in CD43 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

3 × 16⁰ = 3
4 × 16¹ = 64
D × 16² = 3328
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:

3 + 64 + 3328 + 49152 = 52547

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.

52547 ÷ 8 = 6568 with 3 remainder
6568 ÷ 8 = 821 with 0 remainder
821 ÷ 8 = 102 with 5 remainder
102 ÷ 8 = 12 with 6 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 CD43 hexadecimal to octal:

CD43 hexadecimal = 146503 octal
