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 magnitude representation. In this representation, we prepend a sign bit to the binary form of the number. The sign bit is 0 if the number is positive; and 1 if the number is negative.

WHAT IS DECIMAL TO SIGNED BINARY CONVERTER (MAGNITUDE)?

Decimal to signed binary converter,

• Finds the magnitude signed binary representation of the entered decimal number,
• Illustrates the solution steps one by one.

HOW TO USE THE DECIMAL TO SIGNED BINARY CONVERTER (MAGNITUDE)?

You can use the decimal to signed binary converter in two ways.

• USER INPUTS

  

  You can enter a positive or negative base 10 number to the input box and click on the "CONVERT" button. The result and explanations appaer below the calculator.

• RANDOM INPUTS

  

  You can click on the DIE ICON next to the input box. If you use this property, a random number is generated and entered to the calculator, automatically. You can see the result and explanations below the calculator. You can create your own examples and practice using this property.

• NUMBER OF BITS

  

  You can select the number of bits in the output by clicking on the checkbox and writing the desired number of bits into the small input box below. If you do not check the checkbox, minimum possible number of bits is selected for the result, automatically.

• CLEARING THE INPUT BOX

  

  To find the magnitude signed representation of some other numbers you can clear the input box by clicking on the CLEAR button under the input box.
