Question

What is the octal of 128?

Answer 1

To convert the decimal number 128 to octal, we divide the number by 8 repeatedly and record the remainders.

Here’s how it works:

1. Divide 128 by 8:  
   

   128 ÷ 8 = 16 with a remainder of 0.
   

1. Divide 16 by 8:  
   

   16 ÷ 8 = 2 with a remainder of 0.

1. Divide 2 by 8:  
   

   2 ÷ 8 = 0 with a remainder of 2.

Now, we write the remainders in reverse order:  
200

So, the octal representation of 128 is 200.
