Signed: Binary -> Integer: 1110 1011 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0010 Signed Binary Number Converted and Written as a Decimal System Integer (in Base Ten)
The signed binary (in base two) 1110 1011 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0010(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.
1110 1011 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0010 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:
1110 1011 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0010 = 110 1011 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0010
3. Map the unsigned binary number's digits versus the corresponding powers of 2 that their place value represent:

4. Multiply each bit by its corresponding power of 2 and add all the terms up.
110 1011 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0010(2) =
(1 × 230 + 1 × 229 + 0 × 228 + 1 × 227 + 0 × 226 + 1 × 225 + 1 × 224 + 0 × 223 + 0 × 222 + 0 × 221 + 0 × 220 + 0 × 219 + 0 × 218 + 0 × 217 + 0 × 216 + 0 × 215 + 0 × 214 + 0 × 213 + 0 × 212 + 0 × 211 + 0 × 210 + 0 × 29 + 0 × 28 + 0 × 27 + 0 × 26 + 0 × 25 + 0 × 24 + 0 × 23 + 0 × 22 + 1 × 21 + 0 × 20)(10) =
(1 073 741 824 + 536 870 912 + 0 + 134 217 728 + 0 + 33 554 432 + 16 777 216 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 2 + 0)(10) =
(1 073 741 824 + 536 870 912 + 134 217 728 + 33 554 432 + 16 777 216 + 2)(10) =
1 795 162 114(10)
5. If needed, adjust the sign of the integer number by the first digit (leftmost) of the signed binary:
1110 1011 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0010(2) = -1 795 162 114(10)
The number 1110 1011 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0010(2) converted from a signed binary (base two) and written as an integer in decimal system (base ten):
1110 1011 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0010(2) = -1 795 162 114(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.
