128₁₀ = 10000000₂
Decimal 128 = 10000000 Binary

Any integer can be written as sum of potencies to the power of 2, known as binary code.

Here’s the proof that 10000000 is the correct result:

1×2^7 + 0x2^6 + 0x2^5 + 0x2^4 + 0x2^3 + 0x2^2 + 0x2^1 + 0x2^0 = 128

Convert 128 to Binary

Now you already know the most important thing:

10000000₁₀ equals 128₂ if unsigned.

If 128 in binary is signed such as with two’s complement, then the binary code has a number of trailing zeroes, e.g. 00010000000 in which the leftmost bit is the sign bit, followed perhaps by more trailing 0’s, and then by magnitude bits.

The reason to have the binary signed is to accommodate for negative numbers, in which case the sign bit is 1 in our example.

Therefore, minus 128 signed using two’s complement, will start with one or more 1’s, but the exact code for -128 decimal depends on the signed number representation system and number of bits available.

Here you can convert binary to decimal.
