30472 octal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the octal number 30472 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 30472 from octal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 30472 by 8⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 30472 by 8¹, multiply the third to last digit in 30472 by 8², multiply the fourth to last digit in 30472 by 8³, and so on, until all the digits are used:

2 × 8⁰ = 2
7 × 8¹ = 56
4 × 8² = 256
0 × 8³ = 0
3 × 8⁴ = 12288

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

2 + 56 + 256 + 0 + 12288 = 12602

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.

12602 ÷ 2 = 6301 with 0 remainder
6301 ÷ 2 = 3150 with 1 remainder
3150 ÷ 2 = 1575 with 0 remainder
1575 ÷ 2 = 787 with 1 remainder
787 ÷ 2 = 393 with 1 remainder
393 ÷ 2 = 196 with 1 remainder
196 ÷ 2 = 98 with 0 remainder
98 ÷ 2 = 49 with 0 remainder
49 ÷ 2 = 24 with 1 remainder
24 ÷ 2 = 12 with 0 remainder
12 ÷ 2 = 6 with 0 remainder
6 ÷ 2 = 3 with 0 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 30472 octal to binary:

30472 octal = 11000100111010 binary
