n the binary numbers above, the sign bit for both is 0, which means it is a positive numbers below 2,147,483,646. These numbers are unchanged if they are unsigned. If either had a 1 as the most significant digit, converting them from twos compliment to unsigned numbers would make them much larger, because in twos compliment, once the most significant digit becomes a 1, the value of the binary number gets smaller even though there are most 1s placed in more significant places throughout the number. Compared to unsigned integers, which as more 1s are placed in more significant places throughout the number, it gets linearly larger.
