Convert base 8 number 4,305 to hexadecimal.
4,3058=164,305_{8} = \square_{16}

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. The given number is in octal format (4,30584,305_8).
2. We need to convert the octal number to hexadecimal format.

STEP 2

To convert an octal number to hexadecimal, we can first convert it to binary and then from binary to hexadecimal. This is because both octal and hexadecimal are powers of 2 (octal is base 8, which is 232^3; hexadecimal is base 16, which is 242^4), which makes conversion between them convenient through binary.

STEP 3

Convert each octal digit to a 3-bit binary number (since 8=238 = 2^3 and it takes 3 bits to represent any digit from 0 to 7).
48=10024_8 = 100_2 38=01123_8 = 011_2 08=00020_8 = 000_2 58=10125_8 = 101_2

STEP 4

Write down the binary representation of the whole octal number by combining the binary representations of each digit.
4,3058=10001100010124,305_8 = 100\,011\,000\,101_2

STEP 5

Now, we need to convert the binary number to hexadecimal. Since hexadecimal is base 16 (242^4), we need to group the binary digits into groups of 4 (starting from the right).
If there are not enough digits to form a group of 4 at the beginning, we add additional zeros to the left.
1000110001012=0100011000101100\,011\,000\,101_2 = 0100\,0110\,0010\,1
We add two zeros to the left to make the first group of four:
01000110001010001000110001010100\,0110\,0010\,1 \rightarrow 00\,0100\,0110\,0010\,1

STEP 6

Now, convert each 4-bit binary group to its hexadecimal equivalent.
002=01600_2 = 0_{16} 01002=4160100_2 = 4_{16} 01102=6160110_2 = 6_{16} 00102=2160010_2 = 2_{16} 00012=1160001_2 = 1_{16}

STEP 7

Combine the hexadecimal digits to get the final hexadecimal number.
4,3058=0001000110001012=04621164,305_8 = 00\,0100\,0110\,0010\,1_2 = 0\,4\,6\,2\,1_{16}

STEP 8

We can omit any leading zeros in the hexadecimal representation. Thus, the final hexadecimal number is:
4,3058=4621164,305_8 = 4621_{16}
The octal number 4,30584,305_8 is equal to 4621164621_{16} in hexadecimal.
