65535 octal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the octal number 65535 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 65535 from octal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 65535 by 8⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 65535 by 8¹, multiply the third to last digit in 65535 by 8², multiply the fourth to last digit in 65535 by 8³, and so on, until all the digits are used:

5 × 8⁰ = 5
3 × 8¹ = 24
5 × 8² = 320
5 × 8³ = 2560
6 × 8⁴ = 24576

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

5 + 24 + 320 + 2560 + 24576 = 27485

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.

27485 ÷ 2 = 13742 with 1 remainder
13742 ÷ 2 = 6871 with 0 remainder
6871 ÷ 2 = 3435 with 1 remainder
3435 ÷ 2 = 1717 with 1 remainder
1717 ÷ 2 = 858 with 1 remainder
858 ÷ 2 = 429 with 0 remainder
429 ÷ 2 = 214 with 1 remainder
214 ÷ 2 = 107 with 0 remainder
107 ÷ 2 = 53 with 1 remainder
53 ÷ 2 = 26 with 1 remainder
26 ÷ 2 = 13 with 0 remainder
13 ÷ 2 = 6 with 1 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 65535 octal to binary:

65535 octal = 110101101011101 binary
