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.

INFORMATION

HEXADECIMAL SUBTRACTION

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.
