3541 octal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the octal number 3541 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 3541 from octal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 3541 by 8⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 3541 by 8¹, multiply the third to last digit in 3541 by 8², multiply the fourth to last digit in 3541 by 8³, and so on, until all the digits are used:

1 × 8⁰ = 1
4 × 8¹ = 32
5 × 8² = 320
3 × 8³ = 1536

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

1 + 32 + 320 + 1536 = 1889

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.

1889 ÷ 2 = 944 with 1 remainder
944 ÷ 2 = 472 with 0 remainder
472 ÷ 2 = 236 with 0 remainder
236 ÷ 2 = 118 with 0 remainder
118 ÷ 2 = 59 with 0 remainder
59 ÷ 2 = 29 with 1 remainder
29 ÷ 2 = 14 with 1 remainder
14 ÷ 2 = 7 with 0 remainder
7 ÷ 2 = 3 with 1 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 3541 octal to binary:

3541 octal = 11101100001 binary
