32772 octal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the octal number 32772 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 32772 from octal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 32772 by 8⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 32772 by 8¹, multiply the third to last digit in 32772 by 8², multiply the fourth to last digit in 32772 by 8³, and so on, until all the digits are used:

2 × 8⁰ = 2
7 × 8¹ = 56
7 × 8² = 448
2 × 8³ = 1024
3 × 8⁴ = 12288

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

2 + 56 + 448 + 1024 + 12288 = 13818

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.

13818 ÷ 2 = 6909 with 0 remainder
6909 ÷ 2 = 3454 with 1 remainder
3454 ÷ 2 = 1727 with 0 remainder
1727 ÷ 2 = 863 with 1 remainder
863 ÷ 2 = 431 with 1 remainder
431 ÷ 2 = 215 with 1 remainder
215 ÷ 2 = 107 with 1 remainder
107 ÷ 2 = 53 with 1 remainder
53 ÷ 2 = 26 with 1 remainder
26 ÷ 2 = 13 with 0 remainder
13 ÷ 2 = 6 with 1 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 32772 octal to binary:

32772 octal = 11010111111010 binary
