Answer 11001.011
Example 20: Convert the following decimal numbers to binary using 6-bit 1's
complement representation.
1. -1610
2. 1310
3. -310
4. -1010
5. 2610
6. -3110
Example 21: What is the general technique for converting a decimal number to 1's
complement representation?
Answer: The general technique for converting a decimal number to 1's
complement representation is given below.
1. If the number is positive, simply convert it to binary.
2. If the number is negative, write the positive value of the number in
binary
3. Reverse each bit.

Example 22: Write the 2's complement for each of the following 5-
bit binary numbers.
a. 010012
b. 010112
c. 001112
d. 000012
Example 23: What advantage does 2's complement have over 1's
complement?
Example 24: Convert the following decimal numbers to binary using 6-bit 2's
complement representation.
1. -1610
2. 1310
3. -310
4. -1010
5. 2610
6. -3110
Example 25: Write the number -710 in signed magnitude representation using 5 bits.

Answer 24:The 2's complement representation for each number is given
below.
1. 1100002
2. 0011012
3. 1111012
4. 1101102
5. 0110102
6. 1000012
Answer 25: First, we write 710 in binary using 5 bits: 001112. Next, we
change our sign bit from 0 to 1 to make the number negative: 101112
Example 26: write range of all signed number,1’s complement and 2’s
complement
