180 in Octal

Decimal 180 in octal conversion provides the detailed information on what is the octal equivalent of (180)10, and the step-by-step work for how to convert the decimal (base-10) number 180 to its octal (base-8) equivalent.

(180)10 in octal is equal to:
(180)10 = (?)8

Perform successive MOD-8 operation for decimal 180, and mark the initial remainder as LSB and the final remainder as MSB as like the below.

MOD-8 of 180	180 / 8 = 22	Remainder is 4 → 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 180.
180₁₀ = 264₈

Hence,
180 in octal is 264

where,
180₁₀ is the given decimal number,
10 in 180₁₀ represents the base-10 or decimal number system,
264₈ is the octal equivalent of the decimal 180,
8 in 264₈ represents the base-8 or octal number system.

Important Notes: (180)10 in Octal
The below are some of the important notes to be remembered while converting the (base-10) decimal number 180 into a (base-8) octal equivalent.

1. The first remainder of MOD-8 of 180 is a Least Significant Bit (LSB).
2. The final remainder of MOD-8 of 180 is a Most Significant Bit (MSB).
3. The remainders of MOD-8 of 180 should be written from MSB to LSB to form the octal equivalent for the given decimal number (180)10.
