$67 = \color{red}1 \cdot (-2)^6 + \color{red}0 \cdot (-2)^5 + \color{red}0 \cdot (-2)^4 + \color{red}0 \cdot (-2)^3 + \color{red}1 \cdot (-2)^2 + \color{red}1 \cdot (-2)^1 + \color{red}1 \cdot (-2)^0$, so $67_{10} = 1000111_{-2}$. An interesting feature of this base system is that you can represent negative numbers without a minus sign. For example, $-67_{10} = 11001101_{-2}$. |
