INFORMATION

Negative numbers can be represented in binary using one of the following representations.

• signed magnitude representation
• signed 1's complement representation
• signed 2's complement representation

This calculator uses the signed 2's complement representation for the negative numbers. In this representation, we find the binary equivalent of the absolute value of the number. If the number is negative, we compute the 2's complement.
