2736 octal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the octal number 2736 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 2736 from octal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 2736 by 8⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 2736 by 8¹, multiply the third to last digit in 2736 by 8², multiply the fourth to last digit in 2736 by 8³, and so on, until all the digits are used:

6 × 8⁰ = 6
3 × 8¹ = 24
7 × 8² = 448
2 × 8³ = 1024

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

6 + 24 + 448 + 1024 = 1502

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.

1502 ÷ 2 = 751 with 0 remainder
751 ÷ 2 = 375 with 1 remainder
375 ÷ 2 = 187 with 1 remainder
187 ÷ 2 = 93 with 1 remainder
93 ÷ 2 = 46 with 1 remainder
46 ÷ 2 = 23 with 0 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 2736 octal to binary:

2736 octal = 10111011110 binary
