12362 octal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the octal number 12362 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 12362 from octal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 12362 by 8⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 12362 by 8¹, multiply the third to last digit in 12362 by 8², multiply the fourth to last digit in 12362 by 8³, and so on, until all the digits are used:

2 × 8⁰ = 2
6 × 8¹ = 48
3 × 8² = 192
2 × 8³ = 1024
1 × 8⁴ = 4096

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

2 + 48 + 192 + 1024 + 4096 = 5362

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.

5362 ÷ 2 = 2681 with 0 remainder
2681 ÷ 2 = 1340 with 1 remainder
1340 ÷ 2 = 670 with 0 remainder
670 ÷ 2 = 335 with 0 remainder
335 ÷ 2 = 167 with 1 remainder
167 ÷ 2 = 83 with 1 remainder
83 ÷ 2 = 41 with 1 remainder
41 ÷ 2 = 20 with 1 remainder
20 ÷ 2 = 10 with 0 remainder
10 ÷ 2 = 5 with 0 remainder
5 ÷ 2 = 2 with 1 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 12362 octal to binary:

12362 octal = 1010011110010 binary
