Negative numbers can be distinguishable with the help of extra bit or flag called sign bit or sign
flag in Binary number representation system for signed numbers. It is not possible to add minus

Programming either 0 or 1 for each position or bit. That’s why we use this extra bit called sign bit or sign flag.
The value of sign bit is 1 for negative binary numbers and 0 for positive numbers.

3. 2’s Complement Method: Positive numbers are represented in the same way as they are
represented in sign magnitude method. If the number is negative then it is represented using 2’s
complement. First represent the number with positive sign and then take 2’s complement of that
number.

Example: Let we are using 5 bits registers. The representation of -5 and +5 will be as follows:

+5 is represented as it is represented in sign magnitude method. -5 is represented using the

following steps:

(i) +5 = 0 0101

(ii) Take 2’s complement of 0 0101 and that is 1 1011. MSB is 1 which indicates that number is
negative.

MSB is always 1 in case of negative numbers.

Range of Numbers: For k bits register, positive largest number that can be stored is (2(k-1)-1)
and negative lowest number that can be stored is -(2(k-1)).

The advantage of this system is that 0 has only one representation for -0 and +0. Zero (0) is
considered as always positive (sign bit is 0) in 2’s complement representation. Therefore, it is
unique or unambiguous representation.

These are representation method for signed binary numbers.
