a negative decimal number can be represented in binary form using 1's and 2's complement....what makes the difference? any related information is helpful......... thanks in advance..

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.

lets take number -5 in binary 5 is 00000101 now 2's complement copy all the zeros (working from LSB toward the most significant bit) until the first 1 is reached -5 = 11111011(2's complement) 1's complement convert all the zeros to 1 00000101 so 1's complement 11111010

exactly 1's complement have two ways to represent zero which lead us to error
