Could you please convert octal no 53324 to hexadecimal?

Answer 1

You could first convert it to binary, and then to hexadecimal. Because octal and hexadecimal bases are both powers of two, the conversion between those bases and binary is quite easy.

To go from octal to binary, take each digit in the number, and convert it to three binary digits:

5 -> 101

3 -> 011

2 -> 010

4 -> 100

So the binary version of the number is:

101 011 011 010 100

In order to convert to hexadecimal, your number of digits needs to be divisible by four (as 24 = 16). To get that, we need to add a digit, which will be a zero as our leftmost digit:

0101 0110 1101 0100

Now we can convert each of those sets of four binary digits into single hexadecimal digits, giving us our final answer:
