Now you already know the most important thing:

1100101001110110 equals 129572 if unsigned.

If 12957 in binary is signed such as with two’s complement, then the binary code has a number of trailing zeroes, e.g. 00011001010011101 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 12957 signed using two’s complement, will start with one or more 1’s, but the exact code for -12957 decimal depends on the signed number representation system and number of bits available.

Here you can convert binary to decimal.
