11446 octal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the octal number 11446 to a binary number. First note that the octal number system has eight different digits (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7) and the binary number system has only two different digits (0 and 1).

The four steps used to convert 11446 from octal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 11446 by 8⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 11446 by 8¹, multiply the third to last digit in 11446 by 8², multiply the fourth to last digit in 11446 by 8³, and so on, until all the digits are used:

6 × 8⁰ = 6
4 × 8¹ = 32
4 × 8² = 256
1 × 8³ = 512
1 × 8⁴ = 4096

Step 2)
Next, we add up all the products we got from Step 1, like this:

6 + 32 + 256 + 512 + 4096 = 4902

Step 3)
Now we divide the sum from Step 2 by 2. Put the remainder aside. Then divide the whole part by 2 again, and put the remainder aside again. Keep doing this until the whole part is 0.

4902 ÷ 2 = 2451 with 0 remainder
2451 ÷ 2 = 1225 with 1 remainder
1225 ÷ 2 = 612 with 1 remainder
612 ÷ 2 = 306 with 0 remainder
306 ÷ 2 = 153 with 0 remainder
153 ÷ 2 = 76 with 1 remainder
76 ÷ 2 = 38 with 0 remainder
38 ÷ 2 = 19 with 0 remainder
19 ÷ 2 = 9 with 1 remainder
9 ÷ 2 = 4 with 1 remainder
4 ÷ 2 = 2 with 0 remainder
2 ÷ 2 = 1 with 0 remainder
1 ÷ 2 = 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 11446 octal to binary:

11446 octal = 1001100100110 binary
