Lecture3 Chapter1 - Signed Numbers, Subtraction of Signed Numbers Using Complements

1) The document discusses different methods for representing signed binary numbers, including signed magnitude and signed complement representations. 2) It explains how to perform arithmetic addition and subtraction using the two's complement representation by taking the two's complement of the subtrahend and adding it to the minuend. 3) Examples of addition and subtraction in two's complement are provided to demonstrate how overflow is handled and how subtraction can be converted to addition by changing the sign of the number being subtracted.

Signed Binary Numbers
• In ordinary arithmetic a negative number is indicated by minus sign and positive
number by plus sign. This is not possible in computers, because of hardware
limitations since computers must represent everything with binary digits. There
are two methods to do this:
➢ The signed magnitude convention uses the left-most bit to represent the sign
(0 for positive and 1 for negative).
➢ The signed complement system negates a number by taking its complement.
o It could be either, 1’s complement representation or 2’s complement
representation.

• The signed magnitude convention uses the left-most bit to represent the sign
(0 for positive and 1 for negative).
➢ The user determines whether the number is signed or unsigned
➢ If the binary number is signed, then the leftmost bit represents the sign
and the rest of the bits represent the number
➢ If the binary number is unsigned then the leftmost bit is the most
significant bit of the number
➢ For example:
o 01001 can be considered as 9 (unsigned binary) or a +9 because the left
most bit is zero.
o On the other hand, the string of bits 11001 represents binary
equivalent of 25 when considered as unsigned number or as –9 when
considered as signed number

Signed Complement System
• The Signed Complement System negative number is indicated by its
complement (Complement of positive number)
➢ Positive numbers always start with 0 (plus), its complement
(representing negative number) will always start with 1
➢ Signed complement system can use either 1’s complement or 2’s
complement.
➢ For example:
o +9 is represented only as 00001001 but –9 can be represented
as:
✓11110110 Signed 1’s complement representation
✓11110111 Signed 2’s complement representation

➢ 00001011
• The following are different methods for representing -11:
➢ Signed magnitude: 10001011
➢ Signed-1’s-complement: 11110100
➢ Signed-2’s-complement: 11110101

Arithmetic Addition (Signed-
Magnitude System)
• The addition of two signed binary numbers in the signed-magnitude
system follows the rules of ordinary arithmetic
• If the signs are the same, we add the two magnitudes and give the
sum the common sign
• If the signs are different, we subtract the smaller magnitude from the
larger and give the result the sign of the larger magnitude
• For example:
➢ -35+(-12)=-(35+12)=- 47
➢ -35+(+12)=-(35-12)=-23
➢ +35+(+12)=+(35+12)=+47
➢ +35+(-12)=+(35-12)=+23

Arithmetic Addition (Signed 2’s
Complement system)
• This system doesn’t require the comparison of the signs and the
magnitudes (as in signed-magnitude system), but only addition.
• The addition of two signed binary numbers with negative numbers
represented in signed-2’s complement form is obtained from
addition of the two numbers, including their sign bits.
• A carry out of the sign-bit position is discarded, provided there is no
over flow. Here the left-most bit of the result shows sign.
• If the sum is negative, it will always be in 2’s complement form.

Arithmetic Subtraction
• Subtraction can be performed by simply converting the equation into an addition
formula.
➢ Take the 2’s complement of the subtrahend (including the sign bit) and add it to
the minuend (including the sign bit)
➢ A carry out of the sign bit position is discarded, Provided there is no overflow.
➢ Note: Subtraction operation can be changed to an addition operation if the sign
of the subtrahend is changed. This is easily done by taking it’s 2’s complement as
demonstrated in the following relationship
(±A) – (+B)= (±A)+(–B)
(±A) – (–B)= (±A)+(+B)
➢ For example (–6) – (–13) in binary
(11111010 –11110011)
=11111010+00001101=100000111
=00000111 (+7) Removing the end carry
