The image shows the process of converting a
decimal number (100) into its
octal (base-8) equivalent. Let's go through the solution step by step and verify it.
---
🔢 Problem:
Convert the decimal number
100 to
octal.
---
✔ Method: Repeated Division by 8
To convert from decimal to octal, we repeatedly divide the number by 8 and keep track of the
remainders. The octal number is formed by reading the remainders
from bottom to top (reverse order).
Let’s perform the division:
#### Step 1: Divide 100 by 8
- 100 ÷ 8 = 12 remainder
4
#### Step 2: Divide 12 by 8
- 12 ÷ 8 = 1 remainder
4
#### Step 3: Divide 1 by 8
- 1 ÷ 8 = 0 remainder
1
Now, stop when the quotient becomes 0.

📌 Collect the Remainders (from bottom to top):
- Last remainder:
1
- Then:
4
- Then:
4
So, reading the remainders in reverse order:
👉
1 4 4

✔ Final Answer:
Octal of 100 (decimal) = 144₈
This matches the result shown in the image.
---
🔍 Verification:
Let’s verify that
144₈ equals
100₁₀:
$$
1 \times 8^2 + 4 \times 8^1 + 4 \times 8^0 = 1 \times 64 + 4 \times 8 + 4 \times 1 = 64 + 32 + 4 = 100
$$
✔ Confirmed!

✔ Conclusion:
The conversion is correct.
