62550 octal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the octal number 62550 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 62550 from octal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 62550 by 8⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 62550 by 8¹, multiply the third to last digit in 62550 by 8², multiply the fourth to last digit in 62550 by 8³, and so on, until all the digits are used:

0 × 8⁰ = 0
5 × 8¹ = 40
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 + 40 + 320 + 1024 + 24576 = 25960

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.

25960 ÷ 2 = 12980 with 0 remainder
12980 ÷ 2 = 6490 with 0 remainder
6490 ÷ 2 = 3245 with 0 remainder
3245 ÷ 2 = 1622 with 1 remainder
1622 ÷ 2 = 811 with 0 remainder
811 ÷ 2 = 405 with 1 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 62550 octal to binary:

62550 octal = 110010101101000 binary
