How would i convert -26 into a 16-bithexadecimal number?

I know the answer is FFE6 but how?

edit: nvm got it, had to add 11 0's

-32:
1. Represent 32 in binary, 00100000
2. Reverse the bits, 11011111
3. Add 1, 11100000
4. Represent the resulting binary in hex, E0

32 in binary is 100000 O.o

32 = 0b100000

Which I guess is 00100000

E/ Idk anything about binary codes, honestly.

But okay, try doing those steps without the 00's
