Explanation

Binary numbers group in sets of 4 bits (0000 to 1111), which map perfectly to one hexadecimal digit (0-F). The given binary 1101100100111100 has 16 bits, grouping as 1101 1001 0011 1100, which converts to D93C in hex. Converting to octal requires grouping in 3s, which doesn't align as cleanly.
