62471 octal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the octal number 62471 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 62471 from octal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 62471 by 8⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 62471 by 8¹, multiply the third to last digit in 62471 by 8², multiply the fourth to last digit in 62471 by 8³, and so on, until all the digits are used:

1 × 8⁰ = 1
7 × 8¹ = 56
4 × 8² = 256
2 × 8³ = 1024
6 × 8⁴ = 24576

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

1 + 56 + 256 + 1024 + 24576 = 25913

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.

25913 ÷ 2 = 12956 with 1 remainder
12956 ÷ 2 = 6478 with 0 remainder
6478 ÷ 2 = 3239 with 0 remainder
3239 ÷ 2 = 1619 with 1 remainder
1619 ÷ 2 = 809 with 1 remainder
809 ÷ 2 = 404 with 1 remainder
404 ÷ 2 = 202 with 0 remainder
202 ÷ 2 = 101 with 0 remainder
101 ÷ 2 = 50 with 1 remainder
50 ÷ 2 = 25 with 0 remainder
25 ÷ 2 = 12 with 1 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 62471 octal to binary:

62471 octal = 110010100111001 binary
