320 in Octal

Decimal 320 in octal conversion provides the detailed information on what is the octal equivalent of (320)10, and the step-by-step work for how to convert the decimal (base-10) number 320 to its octal (base-8) equivalent.

(320)10 in octal is equal to:
(320)10 = (?)8

Perform successive MOD-8 operation for decimal 320, and mark the initial remainder as LSB and the final remainder as MSB as like the below.

MOD-8 of 320	320 / 8 = 40	Remainder is 0 → LSB
MOD-8 of 40	40 / 8 = 5	Remainder is 0
MOD-8 of 5	5 / 8 = 0	Remainder is 5 → MSB

Arrange the remainders from MSB to LSB forms the octal equivalent of 320.
320₁₀ = 500₈

Hence,
320 in octal is 500

where,
320₁₀ is the given decimal number,
10 in 320₁₀ represents the base-10 or decimal number system,
500₈ is the octal equivalent of the decimal 320,
8 in 500₈ represents the base-8 or octal number system.

Important Notes: (320)10 in Octal
The below are some of the important notes to be remembered while converting the (base-10) decimal number 320 into a (base-8) octal equivalent.

1. The first remainder of MOD-8 of 320 is a Least Significant Bit (LSB).
2. The final remainder of MOD-8 of 320 is a Most Significant Bit (MSB).
3. The remainders of MOD-8 of 320 should be written from MSB to LSB to form the octal equivalent for the given decimal number (320)10.
