4777 octal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the octal number 4777 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 4777 from octal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 4777 by 8⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 4777 by 8¹, multiply the third to last digit in 4777 by 8², multiply the fourth to last digit in 4777 by 8³, and so on, until all the digits are used:

7 × 8⁰ = 7
7 × 8¹ = 56
7 × 8² = 448
4 × 8³ = 2048

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

7 + 56 + 448 + 2048 = 2559

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.

2559 ÷ 2 = 1279 with 1 remainder
1279 ÷ 2 = 639 with 1 remainder
639 ÷ 2 = 319 with 1 remainder
319 ÷ 2 = 159 with 1 remainder
159 ÷ 2 = 79 with 1 remainder
79 ÷ 2 = 39 with 1 remainder
39 ÷ 2 = 19 with 1 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 4777 octal to binary:

4777 octal = 100111111111 binary
