Decimal to octal converter
Decimal to octal converter
To convert a decimal number to its octal representation, you can follow these steps:
- Divide the decimal number by 8 (the base of the octal number system).
- Write down the remainder as the least significant digit of the octal number.
- Divide the quotient by 8 and repeat until the quotient is 0.
- Write down the digits in reverse order to get the final octal representation.
For example, let’s convert the decimal number 123 to octal:
- 123 ÷ 8 = 15 remainder 3, so the least significant digit is 3.
- 15 ÷ 8 = 1 remainder 7, so the next digit is 7.
- 1 ÷ 8 = 0 remainder 1, so the most significant digit is 1.
- The final octal representation is 173.
Therefore, the octal representation of decimal number 123 is 173.
