Decimal to octal number conversion

Here you see step by step process of decimal to octal number conversion. We have to follow some steps one by one those are

• We have to divide the decimal number by 8 repeatedly, until the quotient of zero is obtained.

• The remainders are noted down for each of the division steps.

• Then the column of the remainder is read in reverse order. That means we have to count those reminder from bottom to top.

In bellow I give you an example to show the process.

Let we have to convert 250₁₀ in octal. We know the base of octal number system is 8. So we have to divide the decimal number by 8.

So the equivalent number 250₁₀ = 372₈

So I think the above example will clear the process of decimal to octal number conversion.
