Convert 34 from decimal to octal

(base 8) notation:

Power Test

Raise our base of 8 to a power

Start at 0 and increasing by 1 until it is >= 34

80 = 1

81 = 8

82 = 64 <--- Stop: This is greater than 34

Since 64 is greater than 34, we use 1 power less as our starting point which equals 1

Build octal notation

Work backwards from a power of 1

We start with a total sum of 0:


81 = 8

The highest coefficient less than 7 we can multiply this by to stay under 34 is 4

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 4 * 8 = 32

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
0 + 32 = 32

This is <= 34, so we assign our outside coefficient of 4 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 32

Our octal notation is now equal to 4


80 = 1

The highest coefficient less than 7 we can multiply this by to stay under 34 is 2

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 2 * 1 = 2

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
32 + 2 = 34

This = 34, so we assign our outside coefficient of 2 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 34

Our octal notation is now equal to 42


Final Answer

We are done. 34 converted from decimal to octal notation equals 428.
