57072 octal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the octal number 57072 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 57072 from octal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 57072 by 8⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 57072 by 8¹, multiply the third to last digit in 57072 by 8², multiply the fourth to last digit in 57072 by 8³, and so on, until all the digits are used:

2 × 8⁰ = 2
7 × 8¹ = 56
0 × 8² = 0
7 × 8³ = 3584
5 × 8⁴ = 20480

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

2 + 56 + 0 + 3584 + 20480 = 24122

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.

24122 ÷ 2 = 12061 with 0 remainder
12061 ÷ 2 = 6030 with 1 remainder
6030 ÷ 2 = 3015 with 0 remainder
3015 ÷ 2 = 1507 with 1 remainder
1507 ÷ 2 = 753 with 1 remainder
753 ÷ 2 = 376 with 1 remainder
376 ÷ 2 = 188 with 0 remainder
188 ÷ 2 = 94 with 0 remainder
94 ÷ 2 = 47 with 0 remainder
47 ÷ 2 = 23 with 1 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 57072 octal to binary:

57072 octal = 101111000111010 binary
