Convert 87984 to Binary

Now you already know the most important thing:

10101011110110000₁₀ equals 87984₂ if unsigned.

If 87984 in binary is signed such as with two’s complement, then the binary code has a number of trailing zeroes, e.g. 00010101011110110000 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 87984 signed using two’s complement, will start with one or more 1’s, but the exact code for -87984 decimal depends on the signed number representation system and number of bits available.

Here you can convert binary to decimal.
