56730 octal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the octal number 56730 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 56730 from octal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 56730 by 8⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 56730 by 8¹, multiply the third to last digit in 56730 by 8², multiply the fourth to last digit in 56730 by 8³, and so on, until all the digits are used:

0 × 8⁰ = 0
3 × 8¹ = 24
7 × 8² = 448
6 × 8³ = 3072
5 × 8⁴ = 20480

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

0 + 24 + 448 + 3072 + 20480 = 24024

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.

24024 ÷ 2 = 12012 with 0 remainder
12012 ÷ 2 = 6006 with 0 remainder
6006 ÷ 2 = 3003 with 0 remainder
3003 ÷ 2 = 1501 with 1 remainder
1501 ÷ 2 = 750 with 1 remainder
750 ÷ 2 = 375 with 0 remainder
375 ÷ 2 = 187 with 1 remainder
187 ÷ 2 = 93 with 1 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 56730 octal to binary:

56730 octal = 101110111011000 binary
