Binary numbers are stored in registers. Negative denary numbers can be represented as binary using two's complement. Complete the binary register for the denary number -78 Register:
Explanation
To represent -78 in binary using two's complement, we first find the binary representation of 78, which is 01000010. Then, we invert the bits to get 10111101. Finally, we add 1 to get 11000000. However, since we are working with 8-bit registers, we need to pad the result with leading 1s to get 11111110.
