**Binary Mathematics**

Binary mathematics, also known as binary arithmetic, involves performing mathematical operations
using the binary number system. While decimal arithmetic is based on powers of 10, binary
arithmetic is based on powers of 2.

**Addition in Binary**

Adding binary numbers follows similar rules to decimal addition, but with simpler carry-over rules.
Here's an example:

```

1011 (11 in decimal)

+ 1101 (13 in decimal)

-------

10100 (20 in decimal)

```

In this example, adding 1011 and 1101 in binary results in 10100, which is 20 in decimal.

**Subtraction in Binary**

Subtracting binary numbers is also similar to decimal subtraction, but it may involve borrowing from
higher-order bits. Here's an example:

```

1011 (11 in decimal)

- 110 (6 in decimal)

-------

101 (5 in decimal)

```
In this example, subtracting 110 from 1011 in binary results in 101, which is 5 in decimal.

**Multiplication in Binary**

Multiplying binary numbers involves shifting and adding. Each bit in the multiplier is examined, and if
it's 1, the multiplicand is shifted left by the corresponding position and added to the result. Here's an
example:

```

101 (5 in decimal)

x 11 (3 in decimal)

-------

101 (Result when multiplier bit is 1, shifted 0 positions)

1010 (Result when multiplier bit is 1, shifted 1 position)

-------

1111 (15 in decimal)

```

In this example, multiplying 101 by 11 in binary results in 1111, which is 15 in decimal.

**Division in Binary**

Division in binary can be performed using techniques similar to long division in decimal. It involves
repeatedly subtracting the divisor from the dividend and keeping track of the quotient. Here's an
example:

```

10100 (20 in decimal, dividend)

÷ 110 (6 in decimal, divisor)

-------

11 (Quotient: 3 in decimal)
101 (Remainder: 2 in decimal)

```

In this example, dividing 10100 by 110 in binary results in a quotient of 11 and a remainder of 101.

**Conclusion**

Binary mathematics forms the foundation of digital computing, enabling computers to perform a
wide range of calculations and operations. Understanding binary arithmetic is essential for anyone
working with computer systems and programming.
