53321 octal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the octal number 53321 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 53321 from octal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 53321 by 8⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 53321 by 8¹, multiply the third to last digit in 53321 by 8², multiply the fourth to last digit in 53321 by 8³, and so on, until all the digits are used:

1 × 8⁰ = 1
2 × 8¹ = 16
3 × 8² = 192
3 × 8³ = 1536
5 × 8⁴ = 20480

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

1 + 16 + 192 + 1536 + 20480 = 22225

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.

22225 ÷ 2 = 11112 with 1 remainder
11112 ÷ 2 = 5556 with 0 remainder
5556 ÷ 2 = 2778 with 0 remainder
2778 ÷ 2 = 1389 with 0 remainder
1389 ÷ 2 = 694 with 1 remainder
694 ÷ 2 = 347 with 0 remainder
347 ÷ 2 = 173 with 1 remainder
173 ÷ 2 = 86 with 1 remainder
86 ÷ 2 = 43 with 0 remainder
43 ÷ 2 = 21 with 1 remainder
21 ÷ 2 = 10 with 1 remainder
10 ÷ 2 = 5 with 0 remainder
5 ÷ 2 = 2 with 1 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 53321 octal to binary:

53321 octal = 101011011010001 binary
