Binary To Octal Conversion

The document describes two methods for converting between binary and octal number systems. The first method directly converts between the two by grouping binary digits into groups of three, as the base-8 octal system uses groups of three binary digits to represent each octal digit. The second method first converts the number to decimal, then to octal, before finally converting the octal number to binary. Both methods are illustrated through examples that show converting specific numbers between binary and octal representations.

The base of the octal number system is 8 because it consists the digit from 0 – 7. The
octal number system is converting into binary number system by grouping the binary
digit in the group of three from the right of the binary number. On the other hand, the
base of the binary digit is 2 and it consists only two digits 0 and 1. The octal number can
easily be converted into binary by the help of the method explained below.

Octal to Binary Conversion


The base of the octal number system (8) is the third power of base of a binary system (2),
the interconversion of octal and a binary number is very simple and direct as explained
below.

Let converting the octal number 35.346 to its equivalent binary number

Thus the required binary number is 011 101. 011 100 110.

The conversion of binary to octal is a reversal of the above procedure. For example, the
binary number 010100111.100011 can be converted into an octal number by first written
the bits in the group of three and then awarding the decimal number of to each of the
group of three bits as shown below.

Thus the required octal number is 257.43

Second Method of Binary to Octal Conversion


In this method, the large decimal number is first converted into an octal number and
then to a binary number instead of direct conversion of decimal to binary number as
shown in the following examples.

1/2
Suppose it is required to convert the decimal number 465 into a binary number. Let us
find an octal number of 465 using the octal dabble method.

Thus the binary equivalent number is 111 010 001.
