Now you already know the most important thing:

100110000101010110 equals 389972 if unsigned.

If 38997 in binary is signed such as with two’s complement, then the binary code has a number of trailing zeroes, e.g. 0001001100001010101 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 38997 signed using two’s complement, will start with one or more 1’s, but the exact code for -38997 decimal depends on the signed number representation system and number of bits available.

Here you can convert binary to decimal.
