50 in Octal

Decimal 50 in octal conversion provides the detailed information on what is the octal equivalent of (50)10, and the step-by-step work for how to convert the decimal (base-10) number 50 to its octal (base-8) equivalent.

(50)10 in octal is equal to:
(50)10 = (?)8

Perform successive MOD-8 operation for decimal 50, and mark the initial remainder as LSB and the final remainder as MSB as like the below.

MOD-8 of 50	50 / 8 = 6	Remainder is 2 → LSB
MOD-8 of 6	6 / 8 = 0	Remainder is 6 → MSB

Arrange the remainders from MSB to LSB forms the octal equivalent of 50.
50₁₀ = 62₈

Hence,
50 in octal is 62

where,
50₁₀ is the given decimal number,
10 in 50₁₀ represents the base-10 or decimal number system,
62₈ is the octal equivalent of the decimal 50,
8 in 62₈ represents the base-8 or octal number system.

Important Notes: (50)10 in Octal
The below are some of the important notes to be remembered while converting the (base-10) decimal number 50 into a (base-8) octal equivalent.

1. The first remainder of MOD-8 of 50 is a Least Significant Bit (LSB).
2. The final remainder of MOD-8 of 50 is a Most Significant Bit (MSB).
3. The remainders of MOD-8 of 50 should be written from MSB to LSB to form the octal equivalent for the given decimal number (50)10.
