When you factor out the greatest common factor if it is negative and the others are not?
The GCF will always be a positive number.
Can you get a greatest common factor for negative numbers?
Sure. But since negative numbers have positive factors and positive numbers are greater than negative numbers, the answer will be the same regardless of the sign. The GCF of 4 and 9, -4 and 9, 4 and -9 and -4 and -9 is 1.
The product of the least and the greatest of three consecutive negative odd integers is 221. Find the three integers.?
-13, -15 and -17
What is the greatest common factor of 3 and negative 5?
The least common factor of any set of integers is 1.
The smallest common factor of 16 and 24?
There is no such thing as the smallest common factor. I guess the smallest common factor (integers only) for 16 and 24 would be -8. But that's just the negative version of the greatest common factor. I think you meant to ask either what is the smallest common multiple of 16 and 24 or what is the greatest common factor of 16 and 24. The greatest common factor of 16 and 24 is 8. The smallest common multiple of 16 and 24 is 48.
What is the greatest negative number which can be stored in a computer that has 8-bit word length and uses 2's complement arithmetic?
-128
What is the greatest negative number which can be stored in a 8-bit register using 2'complement arithmetic?

What is the 2's complement of -24?
26
Is it possible for an obtuse angle to have both a complement and a supplement?
Yes, but its complement is negative.
Why 1's and 2's compliments is done for performing arithmetic operations?
1's complement and 2's complement relate to the way negative integers are represented in computer memory. With 1's complement, all the bits are inverted. This results in there being two representations for the value 0 because 00000000 is +0 while 11111111 is -0. But in the real world 0 is neither positive nor negative. To resolve this, 2's complement inverts all the bits and then adds 1 ignoring any overflow, such that 11111111 + 00000001 = 00000000. With 1's complement, the valid range of integers for an 8-bit value is -127 to +127 but with 2's complement it is -128 to +127 because we eliminate the redundant 0 value. Most modern systems use 2's complement but there are still systems using 1's complement.
What is the encoding technique called that is used to store negative numbers in the computers?
What is called a two's complement. A computer cannot store negative values (non-positive logical values don't exist in binary logic), so it transforms the value into its "positive complement", which can be stored and acted upon.
What is greatest negative number?
There is no greatest negative number. The greatest negative integer is -1.
Difference between 1's complement and 2's complement?
One's complement have a positive and a negative zero. Two's complement is the solution to such problem. Because of this, two's complement have more negative numbers than positives. (Just one more). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9W67I2zzAfo&feature=related
How can you represent a negative integer in a computer system?
There are many different ways this can be done using binary form:signed magnitude, one bit is the sign (i.e. 0=+, 1=-) and the other bits are the magnitude of the number (this is analogous to how we write negative integers on paper)ones complement, invert every bit of the magnitude of a number to get its negative formtwos complement, invert every bit of the magnitude of a number then add one to get its negative form (most computers now use this form as the arithmetic circuits to do calculations in this form are simpler and thus less expensive than for the other two.There are also corresponding ways this can be done using decimal forms (e.g. BCD, 2 of 5, excess-3)signed magnitude, one bit or digit is the sign (i.e. 0=+, 9=-) and the other digits are the magnitude of the number (this is analogous to how we write negative integers on paper)nines complement, subtract every digit of the magnitude of the number from 9 to get its negative formtens complement, subtract every digit of the magnitude of the number from 9 then add one to get its negative form

How to subtract the hexadecimal number 1245 from D257 using two's complement addition method?
You take 1245 and form the two's complement of it then add it to D257. The two's complement of a number is defined as the 1's complement + 1. In signed two's complement arithmetic, the most significant bit is the "sign" bit. 1 indicates a negative number and 0 indicates a positive number. To find the magnitude of a negative number, take it's two's complement (ignoring carry bits). To get the two's complement of 1245, take the 1's complement of 1245 and add 1. In binary 1245 is 0001001001000101. The one's complement is 1110110110111010 (in hex that's EDBA) . Adding 1 to this will give you the two's complement. That is EDBA+0001 (ignore the carry if any), is EDBB. Now you add EDBB to D257 and ignore any carry, so that will be 1C012 (throw away the carry bit), C012. C012 is a negative number (the sign bit, the most significant bit, is 1). To find its magnitude, apply the two's complement algorithm above, and you'll find it to be -16365. Note: D257 is a negative number, and you're subracting a positive number, so you're going to end up with another negative number, i.e. adding the two's complement of a number is the same thing as subtracting the number. You can check your result by doing the math in decimal to see if it adds up. D257 in decimal = -11688 (you apply the two's complement to the number to find the magnitude, and the sign is negative because the sign bit, the most signficant bit is 1). 1245 in decimal = 4677. -11688-4677 = -16365 (which in hex signed two's complement is C012).
How do you find the complement of a negative angle?
you can't. it's impossible
