Decimal 5940 = 1011100110100 Binary

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

Here’s the proof that 1011100110100 is the correct result:

1×2^12 + 0x2^11 + 1×2^10 + 1×2^9 + 1×2^8 + 0x2^7 + 0x2^6 + 1×2^5 + 1×2^4 + 0x2^3 + 1×2^2 + 0x2^1 + 0x2^0 = 5940

Convert 5940 to Binary

Now you already know the most important thing:

1011100110100₁₀ equals 5940₂ if unsigned.

If 5940 in binary is signed such as with two’s complement, then the binary code has a number of trailing zeroes, e.g. 0001011100110100 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 5940 signed using two’s complement, will start with one or more 1’s, but the exact code for -5940 decimal depends on the signed number representation system and number of bits available.

Here you can convert binary to decimal.
