4101 octal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the octal number 4101 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 4101 from octal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 4101 by 8⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 4101 by 8¹, multiply the third to last digit in 4101 by 8², multiply the fourth to last digit in 4101 by 8³, and so on, until all the digits are used:

1 × 8⁰ = 1
0 × 8¹ = 0
1 × 8² = 64
4 × 8³ = 2048

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

1 + 0 + 64 + 2048 = 2113

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.

2113 ÷ 2 = 1056 with 1 remainder
1056 ÷ 2 = 528 with 0 remainder
528 ÷ 2 = 264 with 0 remainder
264 ÷ 2 = 132 with 0 remainder
132 ÷ 2 = 66 with 0 remainder
66 ÷ 2 = 33 with 0 remainder
33 ÷ 2 = 16 with 1 remainder
16 ÷ 2 = 8 with 0 remainder
8 ÷ 2 = 4 with 0 remainder
4 ÷ 2 = 2 with 0 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 4101 octal to binary:

4101 octal = 100001000001 binary
