Method : 8's complement subtraction steps :
1. At first, find 8's complement of the B(subtrahend).
2. Then add it to the A(minuend).
3. If the final carry over of the sum is 1, then it is dropped and the result is positive.
4. If there is no carry over, then 8's complement of the sum is the final result and it is negative.
1. Find Subtraction of 402 and 314 using 8's complement method
Here A = 402, B = 314.
Find A - B = ? using 8's complement
First find 8's complement of B = 314
Note : 8's complement of a number is 1 added to it's 7's complement number.
7's complement of 314 is
Now add 1 : 463 + 1 = 464
Now Add this 8's complement of B to A
Hints : (Move mouse over the steps for detail calculation highlight)
Step-1
`=2+4`
`=2+4`
`=6`
`=8xx0+6`
`=6_8`
`:.` Sum`=6` | Step-2
`=0+6`
`=0+6`
`=6`
`=8xx0+6`
`=6_8`
`:.` Sum`=6` |
Step-3
`=4+4`
`=4+4`
`=8`
`=8xx1+0`
`=10_8`
`:.` Sum`=0` and carry`=1` | |
The left most bit of the result is called carry and it is ignored.
So answer is 066
2. Find Subtraction of 342 and 614 using 8's complement method
Here A = 342, B = 614.
Find A - B = ? using 8's complement
First find 8's complement of B = 614
Note : 8's complement of a number is 1 added to it's 7's complement number.
7's complement of 614 is
Now add 1 : 163 + 1 = 164
Now Add this 8's complement of B to A
Hints : (Move mouse over the steps for detail calculation highlight)
Step-1
`=2+4`
`=2+4`
`=6`
`=8xx0+6`
`=6_8`
`:.` Sum`=6` | Step-2
`=4+6`
`=4+6`
`=10`
`=8xx1+2`
`=12_8`
`:.` Sum`=2` and carry`=1` |
Step-3
`=1+3+1`
`=1+3+1`
`=5`
`=8xx0+5`
`=5_8`
`:.` Sum`=5` | |
Here there is no carry, answer is - (8's complement of the sum obtained 526)
Note : 8's complement of a number is 1 added to it's 7's complement number.
7's complement of 526 is
Now add 1 : 251 + 1 = 252
So answer is -252
