▪ To get -16 we add a sign bit, 010000 ▪ Flip the bits 101111 ▪ …and add one 110000 ▪ Then add the two numbers together using our binary addition rules: Binary addition rules: 0 + 0 = 0 0 + 1 =1 1 + 1 = 0 and carry 1 1+1+1 = 1 and carry 1 1000 110000 111000 This represents our negative answer (sign bit = 1)
