258₁₀ = 100000010₂
Decimal 258 = 100000010 Binary

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

Here’s the proof that 100000010 is the correct result:

1×2^8 + 0x2^7 + 0x2^6 + 0x2^5 + 0x2^4 + 0x2^3 + 0x2^2 + 1×2^1 + 0x2^0 = 258

Convert 258 to Binary

Now you already know the most important thing:

100000010₁₀ equals 258₂ if unsigned.

If 258 in binary is signed such as with two’s complement, then the binary code has a number of trailing zeroes, e.g. 000100000010 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 258 signed using two’s complement, will start with one or more 1’s, but the exact code for -258 decimal depends on the signed number representation system and number of bits available.

Here you can convert binary to decimal.
