2040₁₀ = 11111111000₂
Decimal 2040 = 11111111000 Binary

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

Here’s the proof that 11111111000 is the correct result:

1×2^10 + 1×2^9 + 1×2^8 + 1×2^7 + 1×2^6 + 1×2^5 + 1×2^4 + 1×2^3 + 0x2^2 + 0x2^1 + 0x2^0 = 2040

Convert 2040 to Binary

Now you already know the most important thing:

11111111000₁₀ equals 2040₂ if unsigned.

If 2040 in binary is signed such as with two’s complement, then the binary code has a number of trailing zeroes, e.g. 00011111111000 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 2040 signed using two’s complement, will start with one or more 1’s, but the exact code for -2040 decimal depends on the signed number representation system and number of bits available.

Here you can convert binary to decimal.
