The 1's complement is formed by inverting every binary digit (bit) of the number - if it is a 0 it becomes a 1, otherwise it is a 1 and becomes a 0.
If 10 is in base 2, then its 1's compliment is 01 or just 1.
If 10 is in base 10, then in binary it is 1010 and its 1's complement is 0101 = 5 in decimal.
However, if more bits are being used to store it, there would be leading 0s that get inverted to 1s and so the resultant number is different; examples:
8 bits (a byte): decimal 10 = 0000 1010 → 1111 0101 = 245 in decimal
16 bits: decimal 10 = 0000 0000 0000 1010 → 1111 1111 1111 0101 = 65525
Next, if 2s complement is being used to represent negative numbers, the binary 1111 0101 represents decimal -11; similarly 1111 1111 1111 0101 represents decimal -11.

The 2's compliment of the number 1000 is?
To get the 2s complement, find the 1s complement (by inverting the bits) and add 1. Assuming that number is [4-bit] binary it would be 1000. If it is preceded by 0s, as in, for example, 0000 1000, then it would be 1111 1000.

What is complement in math?
The complement involves probability. Say the probability of choosing a red marble was 3/10. So the complement, or the chance of not choosing a red marble is 7/10. Think of it as the opposite of the probabilty. You simply subtract the numerator from the denominator and you have the complement. (10-3=7 in this case, then you would put your difference over the probabilities denominator, so it would be 7/10.)
What is the measurement of an angle that is 10 degrees complement?
80 degrees is the complement of 10 degrees, as both angles combined must be 90 degrees, a right angle.
What is 1's complement of decimal 10?
The decimal complement of the number 1 is 8. You can find the complement of any digit by subtracting it from the largest single digit value in the base that you're working in.
