Octal to Binary Conversion



Octal to Binary Conversion

We can also use the mapping method to convert an octal number into its equivalent binary number. In this method, we just replace each digital of the given octal number by its 3-bit binary equivalent.

Lets understand the conversion of octal number to binary equivalent with the help of examples.

Example 1

Convert (3572.126)8 to binary equivalent.

Solution

The given octal number is converted into binary equivalent as follows −

Octal Number 3 5 7 2 . 1 2 6
3-bit Binary Equivalent 011 101 111 010 . 001 010 110

Hence, the binary equivalent of (3572.126)8 is (011101111010.001010110)2.

Example 2

Convert (364.52)8 to its binary equivalent.

Solution

The conversion of given octal number to its equivalent binary number is given below −

Octal Number 3 6 4 . 5 2
3-bit Binary Equivalent 011 110 100 . 101 010

Thus, the binary equivalent of the octal number (364.52)8 is (011110100.101010)2.
