How to convert a negative Decimal Integer to varchar Hexadecimal.

Please find the attached sample.

If we convert -1048284 to Binary we will get

1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111100000000000100100100.

And converting this to Hex value will give us: FFFFFFFFFFF00124

Thanks in advance.....
