247 in Octal

Decimal 247 in octal conversion provides the detailed information on what is the octal equivalent of (247)10, and the step-by-step work for how to convert the decimal (base-10) number 247 to its octal (base-8) equivalent.

(247)10 in octal is equal to:
(247)10 = (?)8

Perform successive MOD-8 operation for decimal 247, and mark the initial remainder as LSB and the final remainder as MSB as like the below.

MOD-8 of 247	247 / 8 = 30	Remainder is 7 → LSB
MOD-8 of 30	30 / 8 = 3	Remainder is 6
MOD-8 of 3	3 / 8 = 0	Remainder is 3 → MSB

Arrange the remainders from MSB to LSB forms the octal equivalent of 247.
247₁₀ = 367₈

Hence,
247 in octal is 367

where,
247₁₀ is the given decimal number,
10 in 247₁₀ represents the base-10 or decimal number system,
367₈ is the octal equivalent of the decimal 247,
8 in 367₈ represents the base-8 or octal number system.

Important Notes: (247)10 in Octal
The below are some of the important notes to be remembered while converting the (base-10) decimal number 247 into a (base-8) octal equivalent.

1. The first remainder of MOD-8 of 247 is a Least Significant Bit (LSB).
2. The final remainder of MOD-8 of 247 is a Most Significant Bit (MSB).
3. The remainders of MOD-8 of 247 should be written from MSB to LSB to form the octal equivalent for the given decimal number (247)10.
