Decimal 185 = 10111001 Binary


Any integer can be written as sum of potencies to the power of 2, known as binary code.

Here’s the proof that 10111001 is the correct result:

1×2^7 + 0x2^6 + 1×2^5 + 1×2^4 + 1×2^3 + 0x2^2 + 0x2^1 + 1×2^0 = 185

Now you already know the most important thing:

1011100110 equals 1852 if unsigned.

If 185 in binary is signed such as with two’s complement, then the binary code has a number of trailing zeroes, e.g. 00010111001 in which the leftmost bit is the sign bit, followed perhaps by more trailing 0’s, and then by magnitude bits.

The reason to have the binary signed is to accommodate for negative numbers, in which case the sign bit is 1 in our example.

Therefore, minus 185 signed using two’s complement, will start with one or more 1’s, but the exact code for -185 decimal depends on the signed number representation system and number of bits available.

Here you can convert binary to decimal.
