6055 octal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the octal number 6055 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 6055 from octal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 6055 by 8⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 6055 by 8¹, multiply the third to last digit in 6055 by 8², multiply the fourth to last digit in 6055 by 8³, and so on, until all the digits are used:

5 × 8⁰ = 5
5 × 8¹ = 40
0 × 8² = 0
6 × 8³ = 3072

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

5 + 40 + 0 + 3072 = 3117

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.

3117 ÷ 2 = 1558 with 1 remainder
1558 ÷ 2 = 779 with 0 remainder
779 ÷ 2 = 389 with 1 remainder
389 ÷ 2 = 194 with 1 remainder
194 ÷ 2 = 97 with 0 remainder
97 ÷ 2 = 48 with 1 remainder
48 ÷ 2 = 24 with 0 remainder
24 ÷ 2 = 12 with 0 remainder
12 ÷ 2 = 6 with 0 remainder
6 ÷ 2 = 3 with 0 remainder
3 ÷ 2 = 1 with 1 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 6055 octal to binary:

6055 octal = 110000101101 binary
