1622 octal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the octal number 1622 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 1622 from octal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 1622 by 8⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 1622 by 8¹, multiply the third to last digit in 1622 by 8², multiply the fourth to last digit in 1622 by 8³, and so on, until all the digits are used:

2 × 8⁰ = 2
2 × 8¹ = 16
6 × 8² = 384
1 × 8³ = 512

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

2 + 16 + 384 + 512 = 914

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.

914 ÷ 2 = 457 with 0 remainder
457 ÷ 2 = 228 with 1 remainder
228 ÷ 2 = 114 with 0 remainder
114 ÷ 2 = 57 with 0 remainder
57 ÷ 2 = 28 with 1 remainder
28 ÷ 2 = 14 with 0 remainder
14 ÷ 2 = 7 with 0 remainder
7 ÷ 2 = 3 with 1 remainder
3 ÷ 2 = 1 with 1 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 1622 octal to binary:

1622 octal = 1110010010 binary
