The Last Step:
163s place:
Subtract the numbers in the 163s place.
116 – 016 = 116
Write 1 to the 163s place.
All Steps:
160s place:
Subtract the numbers in the 160s place.
516 – 316 = 216
Write 2 to the 160s place.
161s place:
B < F
Borrow 1 from the 162s place.
162s place:
After borrowing from the 162s place the number in the 162s place reduces by 1 and and becomes 9
A16 – 116 = 916
161s place:
Add 1016 to the 161s place.
B16 + 1016 = 1B16
161s place:
Subtract the numbers in the 161s place.
1B16 – F16 = C16
Write C to the 161s place.
162s place:
9 < C
Borrow 1 from the 163s place.
163s place:
After borrowing from the 163s place the number in the 163s place reduces by 1 and and becomes 1
216 – 116 = 116
162s place:
Add 1016 to the 162s place.
916 + 1016 = 1916
162s place:
Subtract the numbers in the 162s place.
1916 – C16 = D16
Write D to the 162s place.
163s place:
Subtract the numbers in the 163s place.
116 – 016 = 116
Write 1 to the 163s place.
To subtract an hexadecimal number from another you can follow the steps below.
Write the numbers so that the same places are aligned in the same column.
Start subtracting numbers from the right-most digit and each time move one digit to the left.
In any digit, if the number on top is greater than or equal to the number on bottom, do the subtraction and write the result to the same place.
If the number on top is smaller than the number on bottom, move left until a non-zero number is reached on top.
Borrow 1 from the first non-zero number and reduce it by 1.
Add 1016 to one digit right and move to that digit.
Continue regrouping and adding 1016 to the lower digit until the digit to be subtracted is reached.
Do the subtraction and move one digit left.
