11747 octal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the octal number 11747 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 11747 from octal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 11747 by 8⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 11747 by 8¹, multiply the third to last digit in 11747 by 8², multiply the fourth to last digit in 11747 by 8³, and so on, until all the digits are used:

7 × 8⁰ = 7
4 × 8¹ = 32
7 × 8² = 448
1 × 8³ = 512
1 × 8⁴ = 4096

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

7 + 32 + 448 + 512 + 4096 = 5095

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.

5095 ÷ 2 = 2547 with 1 remainder
2547 ÷ 2 = 1273 with 1 remainder
1273 ÷ 2 = 636 with 1 remainder
636 ÷ 2 = 318 with 0 remainder
318 ÷ 2 = 159 with 0 remainder
159 ÷ 2 = 79 with 1 remainder
79 ÷ 2 = 39 with 1 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 11747 octal to binary:

11747 octal = 1001111100111 binary
