56301 octal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the octal number 56301 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 56301 from octal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 56301 by 8⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 56301 by 8¹, multiply the third to last digit in 56301 by 8², multiply the fourth to last digit in 56301 by 8³, and so on, until all the digits are used:

1 × 8⁰ = 1
0 × 8¹ = 0
3 × 8² = 192
6 × 8³ = 3072
5 × 8⁴ = 20480

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

1 + 0 + 192 + 3072 + 20480 = 23745

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.

23745 ÷ 2 = 11872 with 1 remainder
11872 ÷ 2 = 5936 with 0 remainder
5936 ÷ 2 = 2968 with 0 remainder
2968 ÷ 2 = 1484 with 0 remainder
1484 ÷ 2 = 742 with 0 remainder
742 ÷ 2 = 371 with 0 remainder
371 ÷ 2 = 185 with 1 remainder
185 ÷ 2 = 92 with 1 remainder
92 ÷ 2 = 46 with 0 remainder
46 ÷ 2 = 23 with 0 remainder
23 ÷ 2 = 11 with 1 remainder
11 ÷ 2 = 5 with 1 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 56301 octal to binary:

56301 octal = 101110011000001 binary
