Q.) Convert the following: i) (56210)10 into Octal ii) (56210)10 into Hexadecimal

Subject: Digital Systems

i) Converting (56210)10 into Octal:

> Step 1: Divide (56210)10 by 8, the base of the octal system.

     8 | 5  6  2  1  0
     ---   ---   ---   ---   ---
       0 | 7   0  2   6   2
           ---         ---
              ---             ---
                ---                ---
                   ---                   ---

> Step 2: The remainder is 2, which is the last digit of the octal number.

> Step 3: Bring down the quotient (7026) to the dividend.

> Step 4: Repeat the process until the quotient is 0.

     8 | 7  0  2  6
     ---   ---   ---   ---
       0 | 1  0  3   2
           ---         ---
              ---             ---
                ---                ---
                   ---                   ---
     8 | 1  0  3
     ---   ---   ---
       0 | 0  1  3
           ---         ---
              ---             ---
                ---                ---
                   ---                   ---
     8 | 0  1  3
     ---   ---   ---
       0 | 0  0  1
           ---         ---
              ---             ---
                ---                ---
                   ---                   ---

> Step 5: Finally, the octal number can be read from the bottom up: 11032.

Therefore, (56210)10 in octal is 11032.

ii) Converting (56210)10 into Hexadecimal:

> Step 1: Divide (56210)10 by 16, the base of the hexadecimal system.

    16 | 5  6  2  1  0
    ---   ---   ---   ---   ---
      0 | 3  5  1  1   2
          ---         ---
             ---             ---
              ---                ---
               ---                   ---

> Step 2: The remainder is 2, which is the last digit of the hexadecimal number.

> Step 3: Bring down the quotient (3511) to the dividend.

> Step 4: Repeat the process until the quotient is 0.

    16 | 3  5  1  1
    ---   ---   ---   ---
      0 | 0  D  3   7
          ---         ---
             ---             ---
              ---                ---
               ---                   ---
    16 | 0  D  3
    ---   ---   ---
      0 | 0  0  7
          ---         ---
             ---             ---
              ---                ---
               ---                   ---

> Step 5: Finally, the hexadecimal number can be read from the bottom up: D707.

Therefore, (56210)10 in hexadecimal is D707.
