20710 octal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the octal number 20710 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 20710 from octal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 20710 by 8⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 20710 by 8¹, multiply the third to last digit in 20710 by 8², multiply the fourth to last digit in 20710 by 8³, and so on, until all the digits are used:

0 × 8⁰ = 0
1 × 8¹ = 8
7 × 8² = 448
0 × 8³ = 0
2 × 8⁴ = 8192

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

0 + 8 + 448 + 0 + 8192 = 8648

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.

8648 ÷ 2 = 4324 with 0 remainder
4324 ÷ 2 = 2162 with 0 remainder
2162 ÷ 2 = 1081 with 0 remainder
1081 ÷ 2 = 540 with 1 remainder
540 ÷ 2 = 270 with 0 remainder
270 ÷ 2 = 135 with 0 remainder
135 ÷ 2 = 67 with 1 remainder
67 ÷ 2 = 33 with 1 remainder
33 ÷ 2 = 16 with 1 remainder
16 ÷ 2 = 8 with 0 remainder
8 ÷ 2 = 4 with 0 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 20710 octal to binary:

20710 octal = 10000111001000 binary
