2's Complement Subtraction calculator
1. 110 - 101 using 2's complement
2. 10110 - 11101 using 2's complement


Example
1. Find Subtraction of 110 and 101 using 2's complement method

Here A = 110, B = 101.
Find A - B = ? using 2's complement
First find 2's complement of B = 101

Note : 2's complement of a number is 1 added to it's 1's complement number.
1's complement of 101 is
111
-101

010


Now add 1 : 010 + 1 = 011

Now Add this 2's complement of B to A

11
110
+011

1001

Hints : (Move mouse over the steps for detail calculation highlight)
Step-1
=0+1
=0+1
=1
=2xx0+1
=1_2
:. Sum=1
Step-2
=1+1
=1+1
=2
=2xx1+0
=10_2
:. Sum=0 and carry=1
Step-3
=1+1+0
=1+1+0
=2
=2xx1+0
=10_2
:. Sum=0 and carry=1


The left most bit of the result is called carry and it is ignored.
So answer is 001
