66020 octal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the octal number 66020 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 66020 from octal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 66020 by 8⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 66020 by 8¹, multiply the third to last digit in 66020 by 8², multiply the fourth to last digit in 66020 by 8³, and so on, until all the digits are used:

0 × 8⁰ = 0
2 × 8¹ = 16
0 × 8² = 0
6 × 8³ = 3072
6 × 8⁴ = 24576

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

0 + 16 + 0 + 3072 + 24576 = 27664

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.

27664 ÷ 2 = 13832 with 0 remainder
13832 ÷ 2 = 6916 with 0 remainder
6916 ÷ 2 = 3458 with 0 remainder
3458 ÷ 2 = 1729 with 0 remainder
1729 ÷ 2 = 864 with 1 remainder
864 ÷ 2 = 432 with 0 remainder
432 ÷ 2 = 216 with 0 remainder
216 ÷ 2 = 108 with 0 remainder
108 ÷ 2 = 54 with 0 remainder
54 ÷ 2 = 27 with 0 remainder
27 ÷ 2 = 13 with 1 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 66020 octal to binary:

66020 octal = 110110000010000 binary
