24231 octal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the octal number 24231 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 24231 from octal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 24231 by 8⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 24231 by 8¹, multiply the third to last digit in 24231 by 8², multiply the fourth to last digit in 24231 by 8³, and so on, until all the digits are used:

1 × 8⁰ = 1
3 × 8¹ = 24
2 × 8² = 128
4 × 8³ = 2048
2 × 8⁴ = 8192

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

1 + 24 + 128 + 2048 + 8192 = 10393

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.

10393 ÷ 2 = 5196 with 1 remainder
5196 ÷ 2 = 2598 with 0 remainder
2598 ÷ 2 = 1299 with 0 remainder
1299 ÷ 2 = 649 with 1 remainder
649 ÷ 2 = 324 with 1 remainder
324 ÷ 2 = 162 with 0 remainder
162 ÷ 2 = 81 with 0 remainder
81 ÷ 2 = 40 with 1 remainder
40 ÷ 2 = 20 with 0 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 24231 octal to binary:

24231 octal = 10100010011001 binary
