3. Find Subtraction of 465 and 371 using 7's complement

Solution:
7's complement subtraction steps :
1. At first, find 7'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 1 is added to the result.
4. If there is no carry over, then 7's complement of the sum is the final result and it is negative.

Here A = 465, B = 371.
Find A - B = ? using 7's complement
First find 7's complement of B = 371

Note : 7's complement of a number is obtained by subtracting all bits from 777

Step-1: 7's complement of 371 is obtained by subtracting each digit from 777
777
-371

406



Step-2: Now Add this 406 to 465

1
465
+406

1073


Step by step solution of 465 + 406 = 1073

Write the numbers, so that each digit lines up vertically

465
+406


Step-1 :
`=5_8+6_8`
`=5_10+6_10`
`=11_10`
`=8xx1+3`
`=13_8`
Write the 3 in the sum place and carry the 1 to the next carry place

1
465
+406

3

Step-2 :
`=1+6_8+0_8`
`=1+6_10+0_10`
`=7_10`
`=7_8`
Write the 7 in the sum place

1
465
+406

73

Step-3 :
`=4_8+4_8`
`=4_10+4_10`
`=8_10`
`=8xx1+0`
`=10_8`
Write the 10 in the sum place

1
465
+406

1073



The left most bit (1) of the result (1073) is called carry and add it to the rest part of the result (073)
073
+ 1

074



So answer is 074
