Signed: Binary -> Integer: 1101 0111 1111 0001 0101 0101 0101 0101 Signed Binary Number Converted and Written as a Decimal System Integer (in Base Ten)
The signed binary (in base two) 1101 0111 1111 0001 0101 0101 0101 0101(2) to an integer (with sign) in decimal system (in base ten) = ?
1. Is this a positive or a negative number?
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.
1101 0111 1111 0001 0101 0101 0101 0101 is the binary representation of a negative integer, on 32 bits (4 Bytes).
2. Construct the unsigned binary number.
Exclude the first bit (the leftmost), that is reserved for the sign:
1101 0111 1111 0001 0101 0101 0101 0101 = 101 0111 1111 0001 0101 0101 0101 0101
3. Map the unsigned binary number's digits versus the corresponding powers of 2 that their place value represent:
230

1 227
0 226
1 225
1 224

4. Multiply each bit by its corresponding power of 2 and add all the terms up.
101 0111 1111 0001 0101 0101 0101 0101(2) =
(1 × 230 + 0 × 229 + 1 × 228 + 0 × 227 + 1 × 226 + 1 × 225 + 1 × 224 + 1 × 223 + 1 × 222 + 1 × 221 + 1 × 220 + 0 × 219 + 0 × 218 + 0 × 217 + 1 × 216 + 0 × 215 + 1 × 214 + 0 × 213 + 1 × 212 + 0 × 211 + 1 × 210 + 0 × 29 + 1 × 28 + 0 × 27 + 1 × 26 + 0 × 25 + 1 × 24 + 0 × 23 + 1 × 22 + 0 × 21 + 1 × 20)(10) =
(1 073 741 824 + 0 + 268 435 456 + 0 + 67 108 864 + 33 554 432 + 16 777 216 + 8 388 608 + 4 194 304 + 2 097 152 + 1 048 576 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 65 536 + 0 + 16 384 + 0 + 4 096 + 0 + 1 024 + 0 + 256 + 0 + 64 + 0 + 16 + 0 + 4 + 0 + 1)(10) =
(1 073 741 824 + 268 435 456 + 67 108 864 + 33 554 432 + 16 777 216 + 8 388 608 + 4 194 304 + 2 097 152 + 1 048 576 + 65 536 + 16 384 + 4 096 + 1 024 + 256 + 64 + 16 + 4 + 1)(10) =
1 475 433 813(10)
5. If needed, adjust the sign of the integer number by the first digit (leftmost) of the signed binary:
1101 0111 1111 0001 0101 0101 0101 0101(2) = -1 475 433 813(10)
The number 1101 0111 1111 0001 0101 0101 0101 0101(2) converted from a signed binary (base two) and written as an integer in decimal system (base ten):
1101 0111 1111 0001 0101 0101 0101 0101(2) = -1 475 433 813(10)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
Convert signed binary numbers to integers in decimal system (in base ten)
The first bit (the leftmost) is reserved for the sign (1 = negative, 0 = positive) and it doesn't count when calculating the absolute value.
Binary number's length must be: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 - or else extra bits on 0 are added in front (to the left).
How to convert a signed binary number to an integer in base ten:
1) Construct the unsigned binary number: exclude the first bit (the leftmost); this bit is reserved for the sign, 1 = negative, 0 = positive and does not count when calculating the absolute value (without sign).
2) Multiply each bit of the binary number by its corresponding power of 2 that its place value represents.
3) Add all the terms up to get the positive integer number in base ten.
4) Adjust the sign of the integer number by the first bit of the initial binary number.
