What are the required steps to convert base 10 integer
number -8 925 825 746 957 753 966 to signed binary code (in base 2)?
- A signed integer, written in base ten, or a decimal system number, is a number written using the digits 0 through 9 and the sign, which can be positive (+) or negative (-). If positive, the sign is usually not written. A number written in base two, or binary, is a number written using only the digits 0 and 1.
1. Start with the positive version of the number:
|-8 925 825 746 957 753 966| = 8 925 825 746 957 753 966
2. Divide the number repeatedly by 2:
Keep track of each remainder.
Stop when you get a quotient that is equal to zero.
- division = quotient + remainder;

3. Construct the base 2 representation of the positive number:
Take all the remainders starting from the bottom of the list constructed above.
8 925 825 746 957 753 966(10) = 111 1011 1101 1110 1110 0111 0011 1001 1100 1110 0111 0011 1101 1110 0110 1110(2)
4. Determine the signed binary number bit length:
The base 2 number's actual length, in bits: 63.
- A signed binary's bit length must be equal to a power of 2, as of:
- 21 = 2; 22 = 4; 23 = 8; 24 = 16; 25 = 32; 26 = 64; ...
- The first bit (the leftmost) is reserved for the sign:
- 0 = positive integer number, 1 = negative integer number
The least number that is:
1) a power of 2
2) and is larger than the actual length, 63,
3) so that the first bit (leftmost) could be zero
(we deal with a positive number at this moment)
=== is: 64.
5. Get the positive binary computer representation on 64 bits (8 Bytes):
If needed, add extra 0s in front (to the left) of the base 2 number, up to the required length, 64:
8 925 825 746 957 753 966(10) = 0111 1011 1101 1110 1110 0111 0011 1001 1100 1110 0111 0011 1101 1110 0110 1110
6. Get the negative integer number representation:
To get the negative integer number representation on 64 bits (8 Bytes),
... change the first bit (the leftmost), from 0 to 1...
