504 in Octal

Decimal 504 in octal conversion provides the detailed information on what is the octal equivalent of (504)10, and the step-by-step work for how to convert the decimal (base-10) number 504 to its octal (base-8) equivalent.

(504)10 in octal is equal to:
(504)10 = (?)8

Perform successive MOD-8 operation for decimal 504, and mark the initial remainder as LSB and the final remainder as MSB as like the below.

MOD-8 of 504	504 / 8 = 63	Remainder is 0 → LSB
MOD-8 of 63	63 / 8 = 7	Remainder is 7
MOD-8 of 7	7 / 8 = 0	Remainder is 7 → MSB

Arrange the remainders from MSB to LSB forms the octal equivalent of 504.
504₁₀ = 770₈

Hence,
504 in octal is 770

where,
504₁₀ is the given decimal number,
10 in 504₁₀ represents the base-10 or decimal number system,
770₈ is the octal equivalent of the decimal 504,
8 in 770₈ represents the base-8 or octal number system.

Important Notes: (504)10 in Octal
The below are some of the important notes to be remembered while converting the (base-10) decimal number 504 into a (base-8) octal equivalent.

1. The first remainder of MOD-8 of 504 is a Least Significant Bit (LSB).
2. The final remainder of MOD-8 of 504 is a Most Significant Bit (MSB).
3. The remainders of MOD-8 of 504 should be written from MSB to LSB to form the octal equivalent for the given decimal number (504)10.
