143 in Octal

Decimal 143 in octal conversion provides the detailed information on what is the octal equivalent of (143)10, and the step-by-step work for how to convert the decimal (base-10) number 143 to its octal (base-8) equivalent.

(143)10 in octal is equal to:
(143)10 = (?)8

Perform successive MOD-8 operation for decimal 143, and mark the initial remainder as LSB and the final remainder as MSB as like the below.

MOD-8 of 143	143 / 8 = 17	Remainder is 7 → LSB
MOD-8 of 17	17 / 8 = 2	Remainder is 1
MOD-8 of 2	2 / 8 = 0	Remainder is 2 → MSB

Arrange the remainders from MSB to LSB forms the octal equivalent of 143.
143₁₀ = 217₈

Hence,
143 in octal is 217

where,
143₁₀ is the given decimal number,
10 in 143₁₀ represents the base-10 or decimal number system,
217₈ is the octal equivalent of the decimal 143,
8 in 217₈ represents the base-8 or octal number system.

Important Notes: (143)10 in Octal
The below are some of the important notes to be remembered while converting the (base-10) decimal number 143 into a (base-8) octal equivalent.

1. The first remainder of MOD-8 of 143 is a Least Significant Bit (LSB).
2. The final remainder of MOD-8 of 143 is a Most Significant Bit (MSB).
3. The remainders of MOD-8 of 143 should be written from MSB to LSB to form the octal equivalent for the given decimal number (143)10.
