5 in Octal
Decimal 5 in octal conversion provides the detailed information on what is the octal equivalent of (5)10, and the step-by-step work for how to convert the decimal (base-10) number 5 to its octal (base-8) equivalent.
(5)10 in octal is equal to:
(5)10 = (?)8
Perform successive MOD-8 operation for decimal 5, and mark the initial remainder as LSB and the final remainder as MSB as like the below.
| MOD-8 of 5 | 5 / 8 = 0 | Remainder is 5 → LSB |
Arrange the remainders from MSB to LSB forms the octal equivalent of 5.
510 = 58
Hence,
5 in octal is 5
where,
510 is the given decimal number,
10 in 510 represents the base-10 or decimal number system,
58 is the octal equivalent of the decimal 5,
8 in 58 represents the base-8 or octal number system.
Important Notes: (5)10 in Octal
The below are some of the important notes to be remembered while converting the (base-10) decimal number 5 into a (base-8) octal equivalent.
- The first remainder of MOD-8 of 5 is a Least Significant Bit (LSB).
- The final remainder of MOD-8 of 5 is a Most Significant Bit (MSB).
- The remainders of MOD-8 of 5 should be written from MSB to LSB to form the octal equivalent for the given decimal number (5)10.
