247₁₀ = 11110111₂
Decimal 247 = 11110111 Binary

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

Here’s the proof that 11110111 is the correct result:

1×2^7 + 1×2^6 + 1×2^5 + 1×2^4 + 0x2^3 + 1×2^2 + 1×2^1 + 1×2^0 = 247

Convert 247 to Binary

Now you already know the most important thing:

11110111₁₀ equals 247₂ if unsigned.

If 247 in binary is signed such as with two’s complement, then the binary code has a number of trailing zeroes, e.g. 00011110111 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 247 signed using two’s complement, will start with one or more 1’s, but the exact code for -247 decimal depends on the signed number representation system and number of bits available.

Here you can convert binary to decimal.
