Complement number Discussion
1’ s Complement Discussion
Binary numbers can also be represented by ‘radix’ and ‘radix -
1’s complement of a binary number N is obtained by the formula : -
Where n is the no of bits in number N
Example
Convert binary number 111001101 to 1’s complement
Method:
N = 111001101
n = 9
2^n = 256 = 100000000
2^n -
1’s complement of N = (100000000 – 1) -
011111111
– 111001101
= 000110010
Answer:
1’s complement of N is 000110010
Trick:
Invert all the bits of the binary number
N = 111001101
1’s complement of N is 000110010
