Question

convert 161 decimal into octal? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

241 is the correct answer

Explanation:

Step 1- Perform the successive MOD 8 for the given decimal number 161 and note down the remainder for each operation. The last remainder is the MSB (most significant bit) and the first remainder is the LSB (least significant bit).

161 / 8 = 20 : Remainder is 1 → LSB

20 / 8 = 2 : Remainder is 4

2 / 8 = 0 : Remainder is 2 → MSB

Step 2- Write the remainders from MSB to LSB provide the equivalent octal number

241

161 = 241
