It is more widely used than its counterpart signed magnitude due to advantages like ease of operations. = Operation = In this system, think of the first bit in the bit pattern as negative. For example, 101 would be 4 + 1 = 5 as an unsigned number, but -4 + 1 = -3 as a signed number represented by 2's complement. To negate signed numbers, flip all bits and add 1. This comes from math: <math>-2..."
