Signed binary number 0000 0001 0010 0011 0100 0101 0110 0111 1000 1001 1010 1011 1100 1101 1110 1000(2) written as a base ten integer, in decimal system

1. Is this a positive or a negative number?

0000 0001 0010 0011 0100 0101 0110 0111 1000 1001 1010 1011 1100 1101 1110 1000 is the binary representation of a positive integer, on 64 bits (8 Bytes).


In a signed binary, the first bit (the leftmost) is reserved for the sign,

1 = negative, 0 = positive. This bit does not count when calculating the absolute value.


2. Construct the unsigned binary number.

Exclude the first bit (the leftmost), that is reserved for the sign:

0000 0001 0010 0011 0100 0101 0110 0111 1000 1001 1010 1011 1100 1101 1110 1000 = 000 0001 0010 0011 0100 0101 0110 0111 1000 1001 1010 1011 1100 1101 1110 1000


3. Map the unsigned binary number's digits versus the corresponding powers of 2 that their place value represent:

5. If needed, adjust the sign of the integer number by the first digit (leftmost) of the signed binary:

0000 0001 0010 0011 0100 0101 0110 0111 1000 1001 1010 1011 1100 1101 1110 1000(2) = 81 985 529 216 486 888(10)

The number 0000 0001 0010 0011 0100 0101 0110 0111 1000 1001 1010 1011 1100 1101 1110 1000(2) converted from a signed binary (base two) and written as an integer in decimal system (base ten):
0000 0001 0010 0011 0100 0101 0110 0111 1000 1001 1010 1011 1100 1101 1110 1000(2) = 81 985 529 216 486 888(10)

Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.

How to convert signed binary numbers from binary system to decimal (base ten)

To understand how to convert a signed binary number from binary system to decimal (base ten), the easiest way is to do it through an example - convert the binary number, 1001 1110, to base ten:

  • In a signed binary, the first bit (leftmost) is reserved for the sign, 1 = negative, 0 = positive. This bit does not count when calculating the absolute value (value without sign). The first bit is 1, so our number is negative.
  • Write bellow the binary number in base two, and above each bit that makes up the binary number write the corresponding power of 2 (numeral base) that its place value represents, starting with zero, from the right of the number (rightmost bit), walking to the left of the number and increasing each corresonding power of 2 by exactly one unit, but ignoring the very first bit (the leftmost, the one representing the sign):
  • powers of 2:   6 5 4 3 2 1 0
    digits: 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0
  • Build the representation of the positive number in base 10, by taking each digit of the binary number, multiplying it by the corresponding power of 2 and then adding all the terms up, but also taking care of the number sign:

    1001 1110 =

    - (0 × 26 + 0 × 25 + 1 × 24 + 1 × 23 + 1 × 22 + 1 × 21 + 0 × 20)(10) =

    - (0 + 0 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 0)(10) =

    - (16 + 8 + 4 + 2)(10) =

    -30(10)

  • Binary signed number, 1001 1110 = -30(10), signed negative integer in base 10
