588₁₀ = 1001001100₂
Decimal 588 = 1001001100 Binary

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

Here’s the proof that 1001001100 is the correct result:

1×2^9 + 0x2^8 + 0x2^7 + 1×2^6 + 0x2^5 + 0x2^4 + 1×2^3 + 1×2^2 + 0x2^1 + 0x2^0 = 588

Convert 588 to Binary

Now you already know the most important thing:

1001001100₁₀ equals 588₂ if unsigned.

If 588 in binary is signed such as with two’s complement, then the binary code has a number of trailing zeroes, e.g. 0001001001100 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 588 signed using two’s complement, will start with one or more 1’s, but the exact code for -588 decimal depends on the signed number representation system and number of bits available.

Here you can convert binary to decimal.
