2205 octal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the octal number 2205 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 2205 from octal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 2205 by 8⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 2205 by 8¹, multiply the third to last digit in 2205 by 8², multiply the fourth to last digit in 2205 by 8³, and so on, until all the digits are used:

5 × 8⁰ = 5
0 × 8¹ = 0
2 × 8² = 128
2 × 8³ = 1024

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

5 + 0 + 128 + 1024 = 1157

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.

1157 ÷ 2 = 578 with 1 remainder
578 ÷ 2 = 289 with 0 remainder
289 ÷ 2 = 144 with 1 remainder
144 ÷ 2 = 72 with 0 remainder
72 ÷ 2 = 36 with 0 remainder
36 ÷ 2 = 18 with 0 remainder
18 ÷ 2 = 9 with 0 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 2205 octal to binary:

2205 octal = 10010000101 binary
