Answer 1

The octal equivalent to the binary (11010)2 is 32.

Explanation:

• There are two steps to solve this.
• First, write down the binary number i.e. (011010)2
• Make three sets of all digits starting from the far right side.
• Then add zeros to the left side of the last digit in case if there are no digits to make a set of three.
• Like this.   011   010
• Second, use the table to convert each set of three into an octal digit.  
• According to the table 011 = 3, 010 = 2
• Thus the number 32 is the octal equivalent to 11010 in binary.
