Decimal 510 = 111111110 Binary


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

Here’s the proof that 111111110 is the correct result:

1×2^8 + 1×2^7 + 1×2^6 + 1×2^5 + 1×2^4 + 1×2^3 + 1×2^2 + 1×2^1 + 0x2^0 = 510

Now you already know the most important thing:

11111111010 equals 5102 if unsigned.

If 510 in binary is signed such as with two’s complement, then the binary code has a number of trailing zeroes, e.g. 000111111110 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 510 signed using two’s complement, will start with one or more 1’s, but the exact code for -510 decimal depends on the signed number representation system and number of bits available.

Here you can convert binary to decimal.
