Computer Awareness Number representations Easy

Convert the Hexadecimal number 4DF to its octal equivalent

(A) 2333
(B) 2337
(C) 2773
(D) 2373
✓ Correct Answer: Option B Verified Solution

📘 Step-by-Step Solution & Detailed Explanation:

Hex to binary: 4 = 0100, D = 1101, F = 1111, so \(4DF_{16} = 010011011111_2\).

Group in threes from the right: 010 | 011 | 011 | 111, which is 2, 3, 3, 7.

\(4DF_{16} = 2337_8\)

Check: \(4DF_{16} = 1247\), and \(2337_8 = 1024 + 192 + 24 + 7 = 1247\).

Answer: (B) 2337
