The largest negative number that can be represented with 5 bits in 2's complement is $-(2^4) = -16$ and the largest positive number is $2^4 -1 = 15$, but how are these numbers represented in binary? I am asking because I have seen many version around the web, I am getting confused. By the way, what would be the result for the 1's complement? My answer would be for the largest positive number 01111 and for the largest negative 10000, but since usually bits are reversed when we do the 2's complement of a binary number, I do not know what is the correct answer...
