DD8A hexadecimal to octal

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number DD8A 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 DD8A from hexadecimal to octal are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in DD8A by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in DD8A by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in DD8A by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in DD8A by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

A × 16⁰ = 10
8 × 16¹ = 128
D × 16² = 3328
D × 16³ = 53248

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:

10 + 128 + 3328 + 53248 = 56714

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.

56714 ÷ 8 = 7089 with 2 remainder
7089 ÷ 8 = 886 with 1 remainder
886 ÷ 8 = 110 with 6 remainder
110 ÷ 8 = 13 with 6 remainder
13 ÷ 8 = 1 with 5 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 DD8A hexadecimal to octal:

DD8A hexadecimal = 156612 octal
