• The subtraction of binary numbers can be done most conveniently by means of complements. Remember Cout3’ that the subtraction A-B can be done by taking the 2's complement of B and adding it to A.

The subtraction of binary numbers can be done most conveniently by means of complements.
Remember Cout3’ that the subtraction A-B can be done by taking the 2's
complement of B and adding it to A. The 2's complement can be obtained by
taking the l's complement and adding one to the least significant pair of bits.
The l's complement can be implemented with inverters and a one can be added to
the sum through the input carry, as shown in the Fig. 3.14.1.
