234
-234
Homework Equations
None I know of.
The Attempt at a Solution
I think I'm making this more complicated than it really is. For 234 I can just convert right to binary or do I have to convert 234 to binary, complement, add 1, complement, and then add 1?
For -234:
000011101010
111100010101
1(adding 1 to LSB)
111100010110
On a side note converting a negative number to octal or hex say -234. You convert it like any other binary number? When converting back how do you know you have a negative number or positive number? By the MSB?
