11600 octal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the octal number 11600 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 11600 from octal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 11600 by 8⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 11600 by 8¹, multiply the third to last digit in 11600 by 8², multiply the fourth to last digit in 11600 by 8³, and so on, until all the digits are used:

0 × 8⁰ = 0
0 × 8¹ = 0
6 × 8² = 384
1 × 8³ = 512
1 × 8⁴ = 4096

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

0 + 0 + 384 + 512 + 4096 = 4992

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.

4992 ÷ 2 = 2496 with 0 remainder
2496 ÷ 2 = 1248 with 0 remainder
1248 ÷ 2 = 624 with 0 remainder
624 ÷ 2 = 312 with 0 remainder
312 ÷ 2 = 156 with 0 remainder
156 ÷ 2 = 78 with 0 remainder
78 ÷ 2 = 39 with 0 remainder
39 ÷ 2 = 19 with 1 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 11600 octal to binary:

11600 octal = 1001110000000 binary
