55/2 = 27 balance 1
27/2=13 balance 1
13/2=6 balance 1
6/2=3 balance 0
3/2=1 balance 1
1
take from bottom 55 wil be 110111
if you want 8 bit put 0 in front
because just like other number 0 in front doesn't change the value
00110111

express 55 as sum of powers of 2
55 = 32 + 16 + 4 + 2 + 1
so 32 is 2^5, 16 is 2^4 and so on...
for the nth power place a 1 in that place like for 32 place 1 in fifth spot and for 16 in 4th spot and so on...
so 32 = 110111 (6 bit number) or 00110111 (8bit)

In mathematics, negative numbers in any base are represented in the usual way, by prefixing them with a "â" sign. However, on a computer, there are various ways of representing a number's sign. There are four methods of extending the binary numeral system to represent signed numbers: sign-and-magnitude, ones' complement, two's complement, and excess N.
For most purposes, modern computers typically use the two's complement representation, but other representations are used in some circumstances.
See detailed explanation at:

Technically, 8-bit numbers are base 256
6-bit numbers are base 64
