The Representation of Numbers
Although the display of a number is converted when the base is changed, its stored 
form is not modified, so decimal numbers are not truncated — until they are used in 
arithmetic calculations.
When a number appears in hexadecimal, octal, or binary base, it is shown 36 bits 
(12 octal digits or 9 hexadecimal digits). Leading zeros are not displayed, but they 
are important because they indicate a positive number. For example, the binary 
representation of 125
10
 is displayed as:
1111101b
which is the same as these 36 digits: 
000000000000000000000000000001111101b
Negative Numbers
The leftmost (most significant or "highest") bit of a number's binary representation is 
the sign bit; it is set (1) for negative numbers. If there are (undisplayed) leading 
zeros, then the sign bit is 0 (positive). A negative number is the 2's complement of 
its positive binary number.
