79 in Octal

Decimal 79 in octal conversion provides the detailed information on what is the octal equivalent of (79)10, and the step-by-step work for how to convert the decimal (base-10) number 79 to its octal (base-8) equivalent.

(79)10 in octal is equal to:
(79)10 = (?)8

Perform successive MOD-8 operation for decimal 79, and mark the initial remainder as LSB and the final remainder as MSB as like the below.

MOD-8 of 79	79 / 8 = 9	Remainder is 7 → LSB
MOD-8 of 9	9 / 8 = 1	Remainder is 1
MOD-8 of 1	1 / 8 = 0	Remainder is 1 → MSB

Arrange the remainders from MSB to LSB forms the octal equivalent of 79.
79₁₀ = 117₈

Hence,
79 in octal is 117

where,
79₁₀ is the given decimal number,
10 in 79₁₀ represents the base-10 or decimal number system,
117₈ is the octal equivalent of the decimal 79,
8 in 117₈ represents the base-8 or octal number system.

Important Notes: (79)10 in Octal
The below are some of the important notes to be remembered while converting the (base-10) decimal number 79 into a (base-8) octal equivalent.

1. The first remainder of MOD-8 of 79 is a Least Significant Bit (LSB).
2. The final remainder of MOD-8 of 79 is a Most Significant Bit (MSB).
3. The remainders of MOD-8 of 79 should be written from MSB to LSB to form the octal equivalent for the given decimal number (79)10.
