To calculate the 2's complement of a binary number, first, invert all the bits (change 0s to 1s and 1s to 0s), which is known as finding the 1's complement. Then, add 1 to the least significant bit (LSB) of the inverted binary number. The result is the 2's complement, which represents the negative of the original binary number in signed binary representation.
Two's complement representation simplifies binary arithmetic, particularly for subtraction, by allowing both positive and negative numbers to be processed uniformly within the same binary system. It eliminates the need for separate negative number handling, as the most significant bit indicates the sign of the number. Additionally, it allows for an easy detection of overflow and simplifies the design of arithmetic circuits in digital systems. Overall, two's complement is efficient and widely used in computing for representing signed integers.
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
The sign extension rule for two's complement representation is used to maintain the correct sign of a number when converting it from a smaller bit-width to a larger one. If the most significant bit (MSB) is 1 (indicating a negative number), the additional bits are filled with 1s; if the MSB is 0 (indicating a positive number), the extra bits are filled with 0s. This ensures that the numerical value remains the same in the larger representation. For example, converting an 8-bit negative number like 11111100 to a 16-bit representation would result in 11111111 11111100.

Let's consider any number, for example a byte of data represented as eight bits. The values that this byte can have are 00000000 through 11111111. The easiest way to find the one's complement is to change the zeros to one and the ones to zeros. The limits shown above can be represented as 00 through FF in hexadecimal. Let's consider a number AF which is within this boundary. The easiest way to find the one's complement when numbers are represented in hexadecimal form is to subtract the number from (in this case) FF. You will have more F's depending on the length of the number you want to find the one's complement for. If the number consists of three hex digits then you subtract from FFF, if four then from FFFF and so on. Thus with our example of AF, its one's complement would be FF AF --- 50 --- If you add 1 to this result you will get the two's complement of the number AF. Hence the two's complement of AF is (50 + 1) = 51 in hex. Observe that the process of finding one's complement or two's complement of a number are reversible and the original number is obtained. Thus the one's complement of the one's complement of a number gives the original number. The two's complement of the two's complement of a number gives the original number. Lets consider the hex number FF. Its one's complement is 00 and the two's complement is 01. So far we have talked about two's complement of a number (and in the process the one's complement as well). It is not possible to explain two's complement representation without understanding hardware implementation on a computing device, namely, a computer. Let's consider a byte machine where you can operate only on single bytes. Thus you can add two bytes, subtract a byte from another and so on. If two's complement representation of numbers is not implemented on a machine, then the byte can hold values hex 00 through hex FF which would be 0 through 255 in decimal. If 1 is added to a byte containing FF on this machine, the contents of the byte will change to 0 and the overflow bit in the computer will be set to TRUE. If however, two's complement representation of numbers is implemented on a machine the MSB (most significant bit) in the byte is the sign bit. If it is set then the number is negative and if it is not set then the number is positive. Since one bit of the 8 bits in our byte machine is taken up to represent the sign, only the remaining 7 bits can hold the magnitude of the number. The range of positive number in such a machine is hex 00 through hex 7F which is 0 through 127. If you add 1 to 7F then the contents of the byte would be hex 80. Notice that this is a negative number because the MSB is set. But how negative is this number. Since the machine implements two's complement representation of number on this machine, subtract (hex 80) from hex FF and add 1 to get hex 80 which equals 128. So the byte machine which implements two's complement can represent values from -128 through +127. In general if a machine implements 16, 32, or 64 bit architecture, the numbers that they can hold if they implement two's complement are between -(2*n) through and including +(2*n - 1) where n is 16, 32, or 64. I hope you have a better understanding of the difference between two's complement of a number and its representation (meaning implementation) on a computer.
You take 1245 and form the two's complement of it then add it to D257. The two's complement of a number is defined as the 1's complement + 1. In signed two's complement arithmetic, the most significant bit is the "sign" bit. 1 indicates a negative number and 0 indicates a positive number. To find the magnitude of a negative number, take it's two's complement (ignoring carry bits). To get the two's complement of 1245, take the 1's complement of 1245 and add 1. In binary 1245 is 0001001001000101. The one's complement is 1110110110111010 (in hex that's EDBA) . Adding 1 to this will give you the two's complement. That is EDBA+0001 (ignore the carry if any), is EDBB. Now you add EDBB to D257 and ignore any carry, so that will be 1C012 (throw away the carry bit), C012. C012 is a negative number (the sign bit, the most significant bit, is 1). To find its magnitude, apply the two's complement algorithm above, and you'll find it to be -16365. Note: D257 is a negative number, and you're subracting a positive number, so you're going to end up with another negative number, i.e. adding the two's complement of a number is the same thing as subtracting the number. You can check your result by doing the math in decimal to see if it adds up. D257 in decimal = -11688 (you apply the two's complement to the number to find the magnitude, and the sign is negative because the sign bit, the most signficant bit is 1). 1245 in decimal = 4677. -11688-4677 = -16365 (which in hex signed two's complement is C012).
