About Octal to Binary Converter
The Octal to Binary Converter is a tool that allows you to convert octal numbers (base-8) to binary numbers (base-2). Octal uses eight digits (0-7), while binary uses only two digits (0-1). This conversion is common in computer science and digital electronics.
How to use this converter:
- Enter one or more octal numbers in the input field (separated by spaces)
- Click the "Convert to Binary" button or enable auto-processing
- View the binary equivalent in the output field
Examples:
- 7 in octal = 111 in binary
- 52 in octal = 101010 in binary
- 377 in octal = 11111111 in binary
How octal to binary conversion works:
The easiest way to convert octal to binary is to convert each octal digit to its 3-bit binary equivalent, since each octal digit represents exactly 3 binary digits:
Octal | Binary |
---|---|
0 | 000 |
1 | 001 |
2 | 010 |
3 | 011 |
4 | 100 |
5 | 101 |
6 | 110 |
7 | 111 |
For example, to convert octal 52 to binary:
5 → 101 2 → 010 Combining: 101010
This converter handles multiple octal numbers at once and provides instant conversion results.
