13712 octal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the octal number 13712 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 13712 from octal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 13712 by 8⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 13712 by 8¹, multiply the third to last digit in 13712 by 8², multiply the fourth to last digit in 13712 by 8³, and so on, until all the digits are used:

2 × 8⁰ = 2
1 × 8¹ = 8
7 × 8² = 448
3 × 8³ = 1536
1 × 8⁴ = 4096

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

2 + 8 + 448 + 1536 + 4096 = 6090

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.

6090 ÷ 2 = 3045 with 0 remainder
3045 ÷ 2 = 1522 with 1 remainder
1522 ÷ 2 = 761 with 0 remainder
761 ÷ 2 = 380 with 1 remainder
380 ÷ 2 = 190 with 0 remainder
190 ÷ 2 = 95 with 0 remainder
95 ÷ 2 = 47 with 1 remainder
47 ÷ 2 = 23 with 1 remainder
23 ÷ 2 = 11 with 1 remainder
11 ÷ 2 = 5 with 1 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 13712 octal to binary:

13712 octal = 1011111001010 binary
