Binary Subtraction

Binary subtraction is performed similarly to decimal subtraction. When subtracting binary numbers, borrowing from the next higher order digit occurs more often than in decimal. If 1 is subtracted from 0, the result is 1 with 1 borrowed from the next digit. Some examples of binary subtraction are provided along with step-by-step workings to subtract larger binary numbers through borrowing. Activities with worked examples are also included.

BINARY SUBTRACTION

Nestor G. Gutiza Jr.


Asst. Prof. 3

 Binary subtraction is one of the four binary
operations, where we perform the subtraction
method for two binary numbers (comprising
only two digits, 0 and 1).
 This operation is similar to the basic arithmetic
subtraction performed on decimal numbers in
Maths. Hence, when we subtract 1 from 0, we
need to borrow 1 from the next higher order
digit, to reduce the digit by 1 and the remainder
left here is also 1.
BINARY SUBTRACTION

0 –0=0
1 – 0 = 1
1 – 1 = 0
0 – 1 = 1 (Borrow 1)
 Note: For fractional binary numbers, the same
rule applies for subtraction, and the decimal
should be appropriately placed.
WHAT IS BINARY SUBTRACTION?
 Subtraction of binary numbers is an arithmetic operation
similar to the subtraction of decimal numbers or base 10
numbers. For example, 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 in base 10 and 1 + 1
+ 1 = 11 in binary number system.
 When you add and subtract binary numbers, you will
need to be careful when borrowing as these will take
place more often.
 When you subtract several columns of binary digits, you
must take into account the borrowing. When 1 is to be
subtracted from 0, the result is 1 where 1 is borrowed
from the next highest order bit or digit.
BINARY SUBTRACTION TABLE
Binary Number Subtraction Value
0–0 0
1–0 1
1 (Borrow 1 from next high order
0–1
digit)
1–1 0

The addition of two binary number 1 and 1 is 10, where we consider 0 and
carry forward 1 to next high order. But in the case of subtraction of 1 and 1,
the answer is equal to 0, and nothing is carried forward.
In case of decimal subtraction, when 1 is subtracted from 0, then we borrow 1
from next preceding number and make it 10, and after subtraction, it results in
9, i.e. 10 – 1 = 9. But for binary subtraction, it results in 1 only.
HOW TO SUBTRACT BINARY NUMBERS?

 1010
(-) 101
 Step 1: First consider the 1’s column, and subtract the
one’s column,( 0 – 1 ) and it gives the result 1 as per the
condition of binary subtraction with a borrow of 1 from
the 10’s place.
 Step 2: After borrowed 1 from the 10’s column, the
value 1 in the 10’s column is changed into the value 0, 1

 1010
 (-) 1 0 1

 ——————

 1
 Step 3: So, subtract the value in the 10’s place,

 ( 0 – 0 ) = 0.

 1 Borrow
 1010

 (-) 1 0 1

 ——————

 01
 Step 4: Now subtract the values in 100’s place. Borrow 1
from the 1000’s place ( 0 – 1 ) = 1.0

 1 1 Borrow
 1010

 (-) 1 0 1

 ——————

 0101

 So, the result of the subtraction operation is 0101.

 0 0 1 1 0 0 = 12

 Therefore, 26 – 12 = 14

 The binary resultant 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 is equivalent to the 14

BINARY MULTIPLICATION
 Binary multiplication is one of the four binary
arithmetic. The other three fundamental
operations are addition, subtraction and division.
In the case of a binary operation, we deal with
only two digits, i.e. 0 and 1. The operation
performed while finding the binary product is
similar to the conventional multiplication
method. 
 0×0=0
0×1=0

1×0=0

 1 × 1 = 1
