151 as an 8-Bit Signed Binary Number
Converting Base 10 to Base 2 N = 8 A= 49 B= 151 by Doing So 49 Is 00110001 and -49 Would Be 11001111. I Am Having Problems with Finding 151 and -151 Because...
Converting base 10 to base 2 n = 8
A= 49 B= 151
By doing so 49 is 00110001 and -49 would be 11001111.
I am having problems with finding 151 and -151 because after the conversion it is already an 8-bit number. 151 is 10010111, but in signed binary doesn't the farthest left digit indicate whether its negative or positive. 1 is negative and I am trying to get positive 151, but within 8-bits. How would I go about this?

If you only have 8 bits, then your unsigned range is 0 to 255, which makes your signed range -128 to 127. So you cannot express -151 or 151 as a signed number with only 8 bits.
