Question

Please convert decimal value -32760 into 2's complement binary value

Answer 1

This is negative. so, follow these steps to convert this into a 2's complement binary
Step 1:
Divide 32760 successively by 2 until the quotient is 0
32760/2 = 16380, remainder is 0
16380/2 = 8190, remainder is 0
8190/2 = 4095, remainder is 0
4095/2 = 2047, remainder is 1
2047/2 = 1023, remainder is 1
1023/2 = 511, remainder is 1
511/2 = 255, remainder is 1
255/2 = 127, remainder is 1
127/2 = 63, remainder is 1
63/2 = 31, remainder is 1
31/2 = 15, remainder is 1
15/2 = 7, remainder is 1
7/2 = 3, remainder is 1
3/2 = 1, remainder is 1
1/2 = 0, remainder is 1
Read remainders from the bottom to top as 111111111111000
Adding 1 zeros on left hand side of this number to make this of length 16
So, 32760 in normal binary is 0111111111111000
Step 2: flip all the bits. Flip all 0's to 1 and all 1's to 0.
   0111111111111000 is flipped to 1000000000000111
Step 3:. Add 1 to above result
1000000000000111 + 1 = 1000000000001000
so, -32760 in 2's complement binary is 1000000000001000
Answer: 1000000000001000
