Basic Rules of Binary Addition

Today, we're going to learn about binary addition. Can anyone tell me what 0 plus 0 equals?
It equals 0!
Correct! Now, what about 1 plus 1?
That equals 0 with a carry of 1.
Exactly! Remember, in binary, when we add 1 plus 1, we write down 0 and carry 1 to the next column. This is a key point we'll revisit often.
So when do we carry over in addition?
Great question! We carry over whenever the sum exceeds 1 in binaryβjust like how we carry over in decimal when the sum exceeds 9.
Let's summarize: 0+0=0, 0+1=1, 1+0=1, and 1+1=0 with a carry. Remembering this will help us solve more complex binary additions!

Now let's talk about binary subtraction. What happens if we subtract 1 from 0?
We have to borrow from the next bit!
That's right! So the rule is 0 minus 1 equals 1, with a borrow of 1. Can anyone summarize the binary subtraction rules?
Sure! It goes 0-0=0, 1-0=1, 1-1=0, and 0-1=1 with a borrow.
Perfect! Keep that in mind as we proceed to subtract larger binary numbers. We'll follow the same column-wise method.

Next, we'll cover 2's complement. Who can explain what 2's complement is?
It's a way to represent negative numbers in binary!
Exactly! To add using 2's complement, we take the complement of the negative number and add it to the positive number. Letβs look at the addition of +37 and -18 as an example.
How do we find the 2's complement?
First, find the binary equivalent, then invert the bits and add 1. For example, -18 in 8-bit becomes 11101110. Remember, the final carry is disregarded. What do you notice in the result?
It gives us a positive number, which makes sense!
That's right! Understanding 2's complement is vital for binary arithmetic, especially in modern computing!

We can also use 2's complement for subtraction! Who can explain how we do that?
We add the 2's complement of the subtrahend to the minuend!
Great job! And we disregard the final carry. Letβs consider subtracting -14 from +24.
So we have to find the 2's complement of -14 first, correct?
Yes! Then we add it to +24. Can anyone show me what that looks like?
It results in adding 2's complement and gives us +38, which is correct!
Exactly! Always remember the steps for efficient calculations!
Introduction & Overview
Read a summary of the section's main ideas. Choose from Basic, Medium, or Detailed.
Quick Overview
Standard
In this section, we delve into the basic rules governing binary addition and subtraction, outlining their similarities to decimal operations. We also explain the 2's complement method for handling signed numbers and discuss practical examples to reinforce understanding.
Detailed
Digital Arithmetic
In this section, we explore the rules of data manipulation associated with binary data representation, primarily focusing on arithmetic operations such as addition and subtraction. Binary addition follows a set of foundational rules that differ slightly from decimal operations, and these conventions are summarized clearly for ease of understanding. The section also introduces 2's complement as a critical method for sign representation in binary arithmetic, providing detailed examples that demonstrate its applications. We begin with basic operations, outline procedures for larger bit numbers, and underscore the importance of binary mathematics in digital electronics.

Overview of Digital Arithmetic

Having discussed different methods of numeric and alphanumeric data representation in the first two chapters, the next obvious step is to study the rules of data manipulation. Two types of operation that are performed on binary data include arithmetic and logic operations. Basic arithmetic operations include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. AND, OR, and NOT are the basic logic functions. While the rules of arithmetic operations are covered in the present chapter, those related to logic operations will be discussed in the next chapter.
Detailed Explanation
Digital arithmetic focuses on how data is manipulated in binary form, including basic operations like addition and subtraction. Understanding these operations is essential for computer science because computers process data in binary. In this section, arithmetic operations are elaborated, while logical operations are saved for later discussion.
Examples & Analogies
Think of digital arithmetic like cooking. Just as different ingredients (data representation) are used in recipes (data manipulation) to create a dish (output), computers use binary numbers and operations to process information.

The basic principles of binary addition and subtraction are similar to what we all know so well in the case of the decimal number system. In the case of addition, adding β0β to a certain digit produces the same digit as the sum, and, when we add β1β to a certain digit or number in the decimal number system, the result is the next higher digit or number. For example, 6+1 in decimal equals β7β because β7β immediately follows β6β in the decimal number system. Similarly, we can write the basic rules of binary addition as follows:
1. 0 + 0 = 0.
2. 0 + 1 = 1.
3. 1 + 0 = 1.
4. 1 + 1 = 0 with a carry of β1β to the next more significant bit.
5. 1 + 1 + 1 = 1 with a carry of β1β to the next more significant bit.
Detailed Explanation
Binary addition behaves like decimal addition but has simpler rules since binary consists of only two digits: 0 and 1. The carry to the next significant bit occurs differently in binary when both bits are 1. For instance, in binary, 1 + 1 results in 0, with a carry over to the next bit position that will be added with the next relevant digits.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine a light switch that only has two states: off (0) and on (1). If you turn on two switches (1 + 1), it requires a third switch (carry) for the next level of control, which will then turn the lights on again in sequence.

The basic principles of binary subtraction include the following:
1. 0 - 0 = 0.
2. 1 - 0 = 1.
3. 1 - 1 = 0.
4. 0 - 1 = 1 with a borrow of 1 from the next more significant bit.
Detailed Explanation
Binary subtraction is similar to decimal subtraction with variations due to borrowing. When trying to subtract 1 from 0, you borrow from the next bit. This ruleset ensures that even in binary, operations yield proper outcomes.
Examples & Analogies
Think of borrowing like needing a dollar from a friend because you want to buy a snack that costs a dollar, but you only have 50 cents. In binary subtraction, if you need to subtract 1 from 0, you 'borrow' from the next bit.
Addition of Larger-Bit Binary Numbers

The addition of larger binary integers, fractions or mixed binary numbers is performed columnwise in just the same way as in the case of decimal numbers. In the case of binary numbers, however, we follow the basic rules of addition as outlined earlier.
Detailed Explanation
When adding larger numbers in binary, we align them just like decimals and follow the previously mentioned rules, noting any carries that occur as we progress column by column from the least significant bit to the most significant bit. This repetition of addition principles builds larger binary numbers just as in decimal systems.
Examples & Analogies
Consider adding numbers in your checkbook. You write one number underneath another and keep adding them from right to left, carrying over any extra values to the next column; binary addition works in the same organized manner.
Using the 2's Complement Method for Addition

The 2βs complement is the most commonly used code for processing positive and negative binary numbers. When the decimal numbers to be added are expressed in 2βs complement form, the addition of these numbers, following the basic laws of binary addition, gives correct results.
Detailed Explanation
The 2's complement method allows easy manipulation of both positive and negative numbers. By representing numbers in this form, a simple addition process can calculate results without needing special rules for subtraction, as subtraction can be achieved through addition of complements.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine a thermometer that only shows positive temperatures. If the temperature goes below zero, it shows as a represented value in negatives, but you can think of it as flipping the scale using a method, similar to how 2's complement flips negative values into workable positive ones for addition.
