A) What is the 6-bit two’s complement representation of the decimal
number -21?
To represent -21 in 6-bits two’s complement:
-21:
128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1
1 1 1 0 1 0 1 0
+
1
1 1 1 0 1 0 1 12
-21 = 1010112

B) What is the hexadecimal representation for decimal -51 encoded as

To represent -51 in 8—bit two’s complement:

-51
128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1
1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0
 +
1
1 1 0 0 1 1 0 12
-51 = 11001101

Convert to hexadecimal = 1100( C ) 1101( D ) = 0×CD

C) The hexadecimal representation for an 8-bit two’s complement

The hexadecimal representation for an 8-bit two’s compliment

128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1

To get the decimal representation of 0xD6:
128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
0 0 1 0 1 0 1 0
Adding the most significant bits (1) :
32+8+2= 42
Back to the binary form of 0xD6 (110101102 ) Which is a negative
binary form
Therefore, ANS= -42
D) Since the start of official pitching statistics in 1988, the highest
number of pitches in a single game has been 172. Assuming that
remains the upper bound on pitch count, how many bits would we
need to record the pitch count for each game as a two’s complement
binary number?

The highest number of pitches in a single game is 172. since it is non-

B. E) Can the value of the sum of two 2’s complement numbers
0xB3 + 0x47 be represented using an 8-bit 2’s complement
representation? If so, what is the sum in hex? If not, write NO.

YES
128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
Conversion: 0xB3= 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1
0 1 0 0 1 1 00

0 1 0 0 1 1 01

Convert to decimal :
01001101 = 64+8+4+1=77
Most significant bits is = 1
Then : ans = - 77
128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
Conversion: 0x47= 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1

Convert to decimal :
01001101 = 64+4+2+1=71
0×B3= -77
0×47= 71
-77 + 71 = -6
Conversion of -6 to 8-bits two’s complement:
-6 : 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0
1 1 1 1 1 0 0 1

1111= F
1010= A
ANS: 0×FA
 F) Can the value of the sum of two 2’s complement numbers 0xB3 +
0xB1 be represented using an 8-bit 2’s complement representation? If
so, what is the sum in hex? If not, write NO.

O×B3 + O×B1
OxB3 = 10110011= -77
OxB1 = 10110001= -79

Addition of both:
-77 + -79 = -156
Therefore the -156 donot fit in 8-bit two’s complement and the range
for 8-bits two’s complement is from -128 to 127. Since -156 is out of
this range it cannot be represented.
ANS= No
G) Please compute the value of the expression 0xBB – 8 using 8-bit
two’s complement arithmetic and give the result in decimal (base 10).

OxBB - 8
Convert OxBB to base two
B = 1011, B = 1011

0 1 0 0 0 1 0 12
To get the negative decimal
64 + 4 + 1 = -69
OxBB – 8 = -69 – 8 -77
TTherefore, the ANS = -77
H) What is the smallest (most negative) integer that can be
represented as an 8-bit two’s complement integer? Give your answer
as a decimal integer.

To get the decimal integer

I) The following operations are performed on an 8-bit adder. Give the

i. 0xF0 + 0x34 =

0x________ ii.

0xF0 + 0x80 =

0x________

0xFO=11110000
0x8O=10000000
1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0
1 0 1 1 1 0 0 0
10 1 1 1 0 0 00
01110000
0111= 7 , 0000=0
ANS= 0x70
j) Using a 5-bit two’s complement representation, what is the range of
integers that can be represented with a single 5-bit quantity?
Solution
maximum number (2n-1-1)
minimum number -(2n-1)
ranging from -(2n-1) to (2n-1-1)
Where n = 5 bits
-(25-1) = -(24) = -16
(Zakari25-1-1)=(24-1)=16-1=15
The range of integers that can be represented with a 5-bit two’s
complement is from -16 to 15.
