Convert 1 100 110 350 to a Signed Binary (Base 2)

How to convert 1 100 110 350(10), a signed base 10 integer number? How to write it as a signed binary code in base 2

What are the required steps to convert base 10 integer
number 1 100 110 350 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. 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;
  • 1 100 110 350 ÷ 2 = 550 055 175 + 0;
  • 550 055 175 ÷ 2 = 275 027 587 + 1;
  • 275 027 587 ÷ 2 = 137 513 793 + 1;
  • 137 513 793 ÷ 2 = 68 756 896 + 1;
  • 68 756 896 ÷ 2 = 34 378 448 + 0;
  • 34 378 448 ÷ 2 = 17 189 224 + 0;
  • 17 189 224 ÷ 2 = 8 594 612 + 0;
  • 8 594 612 ÷ 2 = 4 297 306 + 0;
  • 4 297 306 ÷ 2 = 2 148 653 + 0;
  • 2 148 653 ÷ 2 = 1 074 326 + 1;
  • 1 074 326 ÷ 2 = 537 163 + 0;
  • 537 163 ÷ 2 = 268 581 + 1;
  • 268 581 ÷ 2 = 134 290 + 1;
  • 134 290 ÷ 2 = 67 145 + 0;
  • 67 145 ÷ 2 = 33 572 + 1;
  • 33 572 ÷ 2 = 16 786 + 0;
  • 16 786 ÷ 2 = 8 393 + 0;
  • 8 393 ÷ 2 = 4 196 + 1;
  • 4 196 ÷ 2 = 2 098 + 0;
  • 2 098 ÷ 2 = 1 049 + 0;
  • 1 049 ÷ 2 = 524 + 1;
  • 524 ÷ 2 = 262 + 0;
  • 262 ÷ 2 = 131 + 0;
  • 131 ÷ 2 = 65 + 1;
  • 65 ÷ 2 = 32 + 1;
  • 32 ÷ 2 = 16 + 0;
  • 16 ÷ 2 = 8 + 0;
  • 8 ÷ 2 = 4 + 0;
  • 4 ÷ 2 = 2 + 0;
  • 2 ÷ 2 = 1 + 0;
  • 1 ÷ 2 = 0 + 1;

2. Construct the base 2 representation of the positive number:

Take all the remainders starting from the bottom of the list constructed above.

1 100 110 350(10) = 100 0001 1001 0010 0101 1010 0000 1110(2)


3. Determine the signed binary number bit length:

  • The base 2 number's actual length, in bits: 31.

  • 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, 31,

3) so that the first bit (leftmost) could be zero
(we deal with a positive number at this moment)

=== is: 32.


4. Get the positive binary computer representation on 32 bits (4 Bytes):

If needed, add extra 0s in front (to the left) of the base 2 number, up to the required length, 32:


1 100 110 350(10) Base 10 integer number converted and written as a signed binary code (in base 2):

1 100 110 350(10) = 0100 0001 1001 0010 0101 1010 0000 1110

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

How to convert signed base 10 integers in decimal to binary code system

Follow the steps below to convert a signed base ten integer number to signed binary:

  • 1. In a signed binary, first bit (the leftmost) is reserved for sign: 0 = positive integer number, 1 = positive integer number. If the number to be converted is negative, start with its positive version.
  • 2. Divide repeatedly by 2 the positive integer number keeping track of each remainder. STOP when we get a quotient that is ZERO.
  • 3. Construct the base 2 representation of the positive number, by taking all the remainders starting from the bottom of the list constructed above. Thus, the last remainder of the divisions becomes the first symbol (the leftmost) of the base two number, while the first remainder becomes the last symbol (the rightmost).
  • 4. Binary numbers represented in computer language have a length of 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, ... bits (power of 2) - if needed, fill in extra '0' bits in front of the base 2 number (to the left), up to the right length; this way the first bit (the leftmost one) is always '0', as for a positive representation.
  • 5. To get the negative reprezentation of the number, simply switch the first bit (the leftmost one), from '0' to '1'.

Example: convert the negative number -63 from decimal system (base ten) to signed binary code system:

  • 1. Start with the positive version of the number: |-63| = 63;
  • 2. Divide repeatedly 63 by 2, keeping track of each remainder, until we get a quotient that is equal to zero:
    • division = quotient + remainder
    • 63 ÷ 2 = 31 + 1
    • 31 ÷ 2 = 15 + 1
    • 15 ÷ 2 = 7 + 1
    • 7 ÷ 2 = 3 + 1
    • 3 ÷ 2 = 1 + 1
    • 1 ÷ 2 = 0 + 1
  • 3. Construct the base 2 representation of the positive number, by taking all the remainders starting from the bottom of the list constructed above:
    63(10) = 11 1111(2)
  • 4. The actual length of base 2 representation number is 6, so the positive binary computer representation length of the signed binary will take in this case 8 bits (the least power of 2 higher than 6) - add extra '0's in front (to the left), up to the required length; this way the first bit (the leftmost one) is to be '0', as for a positive number:
    63(10) = 0011 1111(2)
  • 5. To get the negative integer number representation simply change the first bit (the leftmost), from '0' to '1':
    -63(10) = 1011 1111
  • Number -63(10), signed integer, converted from decimal system (base 10) to signed binary = 1011 1111
