62500 octal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the octal number 62500 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 62500 from octal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 62500 by 8⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 62500 by 8¹, multiply the third to last digit in 62500 by 8², multiply the fourth to last digit in 62500 by 8³, and so on, until all the digits are used:

0 × 8⁰ = 0
0 × 8¹ = 0
5 × 8² = 320
2 × 8³ = 1024
6 × 8⁴ = 24576

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

0 + 0 + 320 + 1024 + 24576 = 25920

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.

25920 ÷ 2 = 12960 with 0 remainder
12960 ÷ 2 = 6480 with 0 remainder
6480 ÷ 2 = 3240 with 0 remainder
3240 ÷ 2 = 1620 with 0 remainder
1620 ÷ 2 = 810 with 0 remainder
810 ÷ 2 = 405 with 0 remainder
405 ÷ 2 = 202 with 1 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 62500 octal to binary:

62500 octal = 110010101000000 binary
