For unsigned maximum negative is 0.
For signed maximum negative is -128.
The answer depends on how a negative number is represented in binary. Different computers can do this differently. It also affects the maximum value of positive numbers.
An 8 bit number can have 256 combinations of 0's and 1's so it can represent 256 different values. We have different conventions for interpreting them. These conventions are built into the hardware and software of the machine.
Without recognizing negative numbers, the 256 values represent the number 0-255.
If we use signed magnitude representation, a single bit is used to determine if the number is positive or negative. The other 7 bits represent the value. 7 bits represent 127 values and a signed magnitude can have the values 0-127 as well as negative 0 to negative 127. Note that you can have both +0 and -0.
- 0 (00000000) becomes -0 (10000000),
- 5 (00000101) becomes -5 (10000101).
In 1's complement notation a number is reversed by flipping all the bits of the positive number.
- 0 (00000000) becomes -0 (11111111),
- 5 (00000101) becomes -5 (11111010).
The most commonly use method in use on machines today is called 2's complement. A number is reversed by flipping all the bits and adding one: as follows:
- 1 (00000001) -> 11111110 +1 = 11111111 = -1
- -1 (11111111) -> 00000000 +1 = 00000001 = 1
- 5 (00000101) -> 11111010 +1 = 11111011 = -5
- 126 (01111110) -> 10000001 +1 = 10000010 = -126
- 127 (01111111) -> 10000000 +1 = 10000001 = -127
- -127 (10000001) -> 01111110 +1 = 01111111 = 127
- -128 (10000000) -> 01111111 +1 = 10000000 = -128 (there is no positive equivalent here of 128)
- 0 (00000000) -> 11111111 +1 = 1 00000000 = -1 (the one that is carried at the end does not fit into the 8 bit number and is lost. This is called overflow and is not regarded as an error.
The largest negative number here is -128

What is the highest decimal number that can be represented by eight binary digits using two's compliment?
Since you mention two's complement, we have to assume that you are dealing with positive and negative numbers which means that the highest order bit is the sign bit. So the maximum positive number would be hex 7F which is equivalent to 127 and the maximum negative number would be -128
How do you convert graycode to binary?
Converting Gray Code to Binary1). Write down the number in gray code.2). The most significant bit of the binary number is the most significant bitof the gray code.3). Add (using modulo 2) the next significant bit of the binary number to thenext significant bit of the gray coded number to obtain the next binary bit.4). Repeat step 3 till all bits of the gray coded number have been added inmodulo 2. The resultant number is the binary equivalent of the gray number.Converting Binary to Gray Code1).

Twos complement of a given 3 or more bit binary number of non-zero magnitude is the same the original number if all bits except the?
ANSWER: MSB IS 1 In the 2's complement representation, the 2's complement of a binary number is obtained by first finding the one's complement (flipping all the bits), and then adding 1 to the result. This representation is commonly used to represent signed integers in binary form. Now, if all bits except the sign bit are the same, taking the 2's complement of the binary number will result in the negative of the original number. The sign bit (the leftmost bit) is flipped, changing the sign of the entire number. For example, let's take the 4-bit binary number 1101 The 2's complement would be obtained as follows: Find the one's complement: 0010 Add 1 to the one's complement: 0011
