Convert Decimal 54 to Octal

(54)10 = (?)8. Decimal 54 to octal conversion provides the detailed information on what is the octal equivalent of the decimal number (54)10 and the step-by-step work for how to convert base-10 number (54)10 into octal (base-8) equivalent manually.

(54)10 in octal is equal to:
54₁₀ = 66₈

Hence,
the octal equivalent of decimal number (54)10 is (66)8

where,
54₁₀ is the given decimal number,
10 in 54₁₀ represents the base-10 or decimal number system,
66₈ is the octal equivalent of the decimal 54,
8 in 66₈ represents the base-8 or octal number system.

Important Notes: (54)10 in Octal
The below are some of the important notes to be remembered while converting the (base-10) decimal number 54 into a (base-8) octal equivalent.

The first remainder while performing 54 MOD-8 operation is a Least Significant Bit (LSB).
The final remainder while performing 54 MOD-8 operation is a Most Significant Bit (MSB).
The remainders of 54 MOD-8 operation should be written from MSB to LSB to form the octal equivalent for the given decimal number (54)10.

How-to: What is (54)10 in octal?

The below step-by-step solution shows how to convert the decimal number 54 to its equivalent octal number. Representing each remainders of 54 MOD-8 operation in octal equivalents and arranging them from MSB to LSB produces the octal equivalent of 54.

Solved Example:
What is the octal equivalent of 54?

step 1 Observe the input parameters, values and what to be found:

Input values:
Decimal Number = (54)₁₀

What to be found:
What is the octal equivalent of the decimal number (54)10?
(54)10 = (?)8

step 2 Perform successive 54 MOD-8 operation until the quotient becomes 0, and mark the first remainder as LSB and the final remainder as MSB as like the below:

Successive MOD-8 Operation for 54

54 MOD-8	54 / 8 = 6	Remainder is 6 → LSB
6 MOD-8	6 / 8 = 0	Remainder is 6 → MSB

step 3 Arrange or write the remainders of 54 MOD-8 operation from MSB to LSB produces the equivalent octal number for decimal 54:
= 66
(54)₁₀ = (66)₈

Therefore,
the octal equivalent of decimal 54 is (66)8.
