179 in Octal

Decimal 179 in octal conversion provides the detailed information on what is the octal equivalent of (179)10, and the step-by-step work for how to convert the decimal (base-10) number 179 to its octal (base-8) equivalent.

(179)10 in octal is equal to:
(179)10 = (?)8

Perform successive MOD-8 operation for decimal 179, and mark the initial remainder as LSB and the final remainder as MSB as like the below.

MOD-8 of 179	179 / 8 = 22	Remainder is 3 → LSB
MOD-8 of 22	22 / 8 = 2	Remainder is 6
MOD-8 of 2	2 / 8 = 0	Remainder is 2 → MSB

Arrange the remainders from MSB to LSB forms the octal equivalent of 179.
179₁₀ = 263₈

Hence,
179 in octal is 263

where,
179₁₀ is the given decimal number,
10 in 179₁₀ represents the base-10 or decimal number system,
263₈ is the octal equivalent of the decimal 179,
8 in 263₈ represents the base-8 or octal number system.

Important Notes: (179)10 in Octal
The below are some of the important notes to be remembered while converting the (base-10) decimal number 179 into a (base-8) octal equivalent.

1. The first remainder of MOD-8 of 179 is a Least Significant Bit (LSB).
2. The final remainder of MOD-8 of 179 is a Most Significant Bit (MSB).
3. The remainders of MOD-8 of 179 should be written from MSB to LSB to form the octal equivalent for the given decimal number (179)10.
