4636 octal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the octal number 4636 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 4636 from octal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 4636 by 8⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 4636 by 8¹, multiply the third to last digit in 4636 by 8², multiply the fourth to last digit in 4636 by 8³, and so on, until all the digits are used:

6 × 8⁰ = 6
3 × 8¹ = 24
6 × 8² = 384
4 × 8³ = 2048

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

6 + 24 + 384 + 2048 = 2462

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.

2462 ÷ 2 = 1231 with 0 remainder
1231 ÷ 2 = 615 with 1 remainder
615 ÷ 2 = 307 with 1 remainder
307 ÷ 2 = 153 with 1 remainder
153 ÷ 2 = 76 with 1 remainder
76 ÷ 2 = 38 with 0 remainder
38 ÷ 2 = 19 with 0 remainder
19 ÷ 2 = 9 with 1 remainder
9 ÷ 2 = 4 with 1 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 4636 octal to binary:

4636 octal = 100110011110 binary
