5. Find Subtraction of 31421 and 7253 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 = 31421, B = 07253.
Find A - B = ? using 8's complement
First find 8's complement of B = 07253

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

Step-1: 7's complement of 07253 is obtained by subtracting each digit from 7
77777
-07253

70524



Step-2: Now add 1 :
70524 + 1 = 70525


Step-3: Now Add this 70525 to 31421

1
31421
+70525

122146


Step by step solution of 31421 + 70525 = 122146

Write the numbers, so that each digit lines up vertically

31421
+70525


Step-1 :
`=1_8+5_8`
`=1_10+5_10`
`=6_10`
`=6_8`
Write the 6 in the sum place

31421
+70525

6

Step-2 :
`=2_8+2_8`
`=2_10+2_10`
`=4_10`
`=4_8`
Write the 4 in the sum place

31421
+70525

46

Step-3 :
`=4_8+5_8`
`=4_10+5_10`
`=9_10`
`=8xx1+1`
`=11_8`
Write the 1 in the sum place and carry the 1 to the next carry place

1
31421
+70525

146

Step-4 :
`=1+1_8+0_8`
`=1+1_10+0_10`
`=2_10`
`=2_8`
Write the 2 in the sum place

1
31421
+70525

2146

Step-5 :
`=3_8+7_8`
`=3_10+7_10`
`=10_10`
`=8xx1+2`
`=12_8`
Write the 12 in the sum place

1
31421
+70525

122146



The left most bit of the result (122146) is 1, called carry and it is ignored.

So answer is 22146
