Explanation:
-------------
Let's first convert FF to binary
Hexadecimal Binary
0 0000

2 0010
3 0011
4 0100
5 0101
6 0110
7 0111

A 1010
B 1011
C 1100
D 1101
E 1110
F 1111
Use this table to convert from hexadecimal to binary
Converting FF to binary
F => 1111
F => 1111
So, in binary FF is 11111111
Now, let's convert 11111111 to one's complement decimal
