3. Find Subtraction of 465 and 371 using 8's complement

Solution:
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.

Here A = 465, B = 371.
Find A - B = ? using 8's complement
First find 8's complement of B = 371

Note : 8's complement of a number is 1 added to it's 7's complement number.

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

406



Step-2: Now add 1 :
406 + 1 = 407


Step-3: Now Add this 407 to 465

1
465
+407

1074


Step by step solution of 465 + 407 = 1074

Write the numbers, so that each digit lines up vertically

465
+407


Step-1 :
`=5_8+7_8`
`=5_10+7_10`
`=12_10`
`=8xx1+4`
`=14_8`
Write the 4 in the sum place and carry the 1 to the next carry place

1
465
+407

4

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
+407

74

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
+407

1074



The left most bit of the result (1074) is 1, called carry and it is ignored.

So answer is 074
