56566 octal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the octal number 56566 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 56566 from octal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 56566 by 8⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 56566 by 8¹, multiply the third to last digit in 56566 by 8², multiply the fourth to last digit in 56566 by 8³, and so on, until all the digits are used:

6 × 8⁰ = 6
6 × 8¹ = 48
5 × 8² = 320
6 × 8³ = 3072
5 × 8⁴ = 20480

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

6 + 48 + 320 + 3072 + 20480 = 23926

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.

23926 ÷ 2 = 11963 with 0 remainder
11963 ÷ 2 = 5981 with 1 remainder
5981 ÷ 2 = 2990 with 1 remainder
2990 ÷ 2 = 1495 with 0 remainder
1495 ÷ 2 = 747 with 1 remainder
747 ÷ 2 = 373 with 1 remainder
373 ÷ 2 = 186 with 1 remainder
186 ÷ 2 = 93 with 0 remainder
93 ÷ 2 = 46 with 1 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 56566 octal to binary:

56566 octal = 101110101110110 binary
