NUMBER SYSTEM ARITHMETIC

Binary Addition
Adding two binary numbers together is easy,
keeping in mind the following four addition
rules:
(1) 0 + 0 = 0
(2) 0 + 1 = 1
(3) 1 + 0 = 1
(4) 1 + 1 = 10
BINARY SUBTRACTION

Just like subtraction in any other base

◦ Minuend 10110
◦ Subtrahand - 10010
◦ Difference 00100
And when a borrow is needed. Note that the
borrow gives us 2 in the current bit position.

When there is no borrow into the msb position,
then the subtrahend in not larger than the
minuend and the result is positive and correct.
If a borrow into the msb does occur, then the
subtrahend is larger than the minuend.

Octal Addition

Octal addition is performed just like decimal

addition, except that if a column of two addends
produces a sum greater than 7.
you must subtract 8 from the result, put down that
result, and carry the 1.
Remember that there are no such digits as "8"
and "9" in the octal system, and that 810 = 108 , 910
= 118, etc.
