64 in Octal

Decimal 64 in octal conversion provides the detailed information on what is the octal equivalent of (64)10, and the step-by-step work for how to convert the decimal (base-10) number 64 to its octal (base-8) equivalent.

(64)10 in octal is equal to:
(64)10 = (?)8

Perform successive MOD-8 operation for decimal 64, and mark the initial remainder as LSB and the final remainder as MSB as like the below.

MOD-8 of 64	64 / 8 = 8	Remainder is 0 → LSB
MOD-8 of 8	8 / 8 = 1	Remainder is 0
MOD-8 of 1	1 / 8 = 0	Remainder is 1 → MSB

Arrange the remainders from MSB to LSB forms the octal equivalent of 64.
64₁₀ = 100₈

Hence,
64 in octal is 100

where,
64₁₀ is the given decimal number,
10 in 64₁₀ represents the base-10 or decimal number system,
100₈ is the octal equivalent of the decimal 64,
8 in 100₈ represents the base-8 or octal number system.

Important Notes: (64)10 in Octal
The below are some of the important notes to be remembered while converting the (base-10) decimal number 64 into a (base-8) octal equivalent.

1. The first remainder of MOD-8 of 64 is a Least Significant Bit (LSB).
2. The final remainder of MOD-8 of 64 is a Most Significant Bit (MSB).
3. The remainders of MOD-8 of 64 should be written from MSB to LSB to form the octal equivalent for the given decimal number (64)10.
