What is the encoding technique called that is used to store negative numbers in the computers memory?

The first bit is used for sign, 0 means its positive and 1 means its negative. Normally a single byte can store 256 values (0-255). But stealing a bit means it can store only 128 now (0-127). But it's really storing 256 values since its rane is now -127 to 127.

computers, calculators
Can we live without negative numbers?
Numbers do not really exist, they just represent things in reality Numbers are conceptual, and only exist within brains and computers to relate amounts of things to one another
What are the characteristics of digital analog and hybrid computers?
• digital computers work on discrete data representing quantities by encoding (e.g. integers, coded alphanumeric characters, coded floatingpoint numbers). • analog computers work on continuous data representing quantities by analogy (e.g. voltages, currents, shaft rotation rate, shaft position). • hybrid computers are a combination of digital & analog computers connected together to work as one machine.
What is the sign of the product of a three negative numbers?

No. Whole numbers are counting numbers and zero.
What is the sign of product of three negative numbers?
The product of three negative numbers is negative.
Where and how does EBCDIC encode the sign of a number?
It doesn't. EBCDIC is a code for encoding characters, not numbers. Of course you can store numbers in an alphanumeric variable, in which case you would use the minus sign for a negative number; but usually, numbers are stored in a more compact format. For example, 2's complement is commonly used to store integers.

Are all negative numbers are rational?
No, not all negative numbers are rational. There are many negative numbers that are irrational, just like the positive numbers.
