 Objectives

• Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division

of two binary numbers.
• Addition and subtraction of hexadecimal numbers
• Difference between binary addition and OR addition.
• Comparison among three different systems for
representing signed numbers.
• Manipulate signed binary numbers using the 2’s –
complement system.
• BCD adder circuit and addition process.
• Basic operation of an arithmetic/logic unit
 6-1 Binary Addition
• The addition of two binary numbers is performed in
exactly the same manner as the addition of decimal
numbers.
• Least-significant-digit first.
• “Carry” of 1 into the next position may be needed.
• 4 different cases for binary addition

00  0
1 0  1
1  1  10  0  carry of 1 into next position
1  1  1  11  1  carry of 1 into next position

•The operations of subtraction, multiplication, and division

actually use only addition as their basic operation
 Example
011 (3) 1001(9) 11.011(3.3 75)
 110(6)  1111(15)  10.110(2.750)
1001(9) 11000 (24) 110 .001(6.125)
 Review Question

• Add the following pairs of binary numbers.

– 10110+00111
– 011.101+010.010
– 10001111+00000001
Representing signed numbers (6.2)
Considerations: representing both positive
and negative numbers; efficient computation.
Sign-magnitude system
Sign-magnitude system: represents + and – numbers,
but we need to design special circuits to add
positive and negative numbers.

ex: 5 + (-5) = 0

use 8 bit signed-binary numbers and add using

full-adder circuits :

0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 ( 5)
+ 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 (-5)
_____________________
1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 (-10)
1’s complement system

– Change each 0 to 1, and each 1 to 0.

– Example
(45) 1 0 1 1 0 1 original binary number
     
(-45) 0 1 0 0 1 0 complement each bit

1 0 1 1 0 1 (45)
+ 0 1 0 0 1 0 (-45)
____________________
1 1 1 1 1 1

Add one to this result, get zero.

2’s complement of a binary number:

– Take the 1’s complement of the number

– Add 1 to the least-significant-bit position

101101 binary equivalent of 45

010010 complement each bit to form 1' s complement
 1 add 1 to form 2' s complement
010011 2' s complement of original binary number
 Representing signed numbers
using 2’s complement form
• If the number is positive, the magnitude is
represented in its positional-weighted binary form,
and a sign bit of 0 is placed in front of the MSB.
• If the number is negative, the magnitude is
represented in its 2’s complement form, and a sign
bit of 1 is placed in front of the MSB.
example
 Example

• Represent each of the following signed decimal

numbers as a signed binary number in the 2’s-
complement system. Use a total of five bits
including the sign bit.
(a) +13 (b) –9 (c) +3 (d) –2 (e) -8
 Negation

• Negation is the operation of converting a postive

number to its negative equivalent or a negative
number to its positive equivalent.
• We negate a signed binary number by 2’s-
complementing it.
• Example
– Each of the following numbers is a signed binary
number in the 2’s-complement system. Determine
the decimal value in each case:
(a)01100 (b) 11010 (c)10001
 Special case in 2’s-complement
representation
• Whenever a signed number has a 1 in the sign bit and
all 0s for the magnitude bits, its decimal
equivalent is –2N, where N is the number of bits in
the magnitude.
• The complete range of values that can be represented
in the 2’s-complement system having N magnitude bits
is –2N to +(2N - 1).
• What is the range of unsigned decimal values that
can be represented in a byte?
• What is the range of signed decimal values that can
be represented in a byte?
 Review Questions

number in the 2’s-complement system
(a)+13 (b) –7 (c)-128

complement system. Determine the decimal equivalent for each.
(a)100011 (b)1000000 (c)01111110
• What range of signed decimal values can be represented in 12
bits(including the sign bit)?
• How many bits are required to represent decimal values
ranging from –50 to +50?

represented by a two-byte number?
• Perform the 2’s-complement operation on each of the
following.
(a)10000 (b)10000000 ©1000
• Define the negation operation
 6-3 Addition in the 2’s-
complement system

+9  0 1001 (augend)
-4  1 1100 (addend)
1 0 0101

This carry is disregarded; the result

is 01001(sum=+5)
 Addition, cont.

• Case III: Positive Number and Larger Negative Number

-9  10111
+4  00100
11011 (sum = -5)

 Addition, cont.

-9  10111
-4  11100
1 10011

Sign bit

This carry is disregarded; the result is

10011(sum =-13)
 Addition, cont.

• Case V: Equal and Opposite Numbers

-9  10111
+9  01001
0 100000

Disregard; the result is

00000(sum = +0)
 Review Questions

• Assume the 2’s complement system for both questions

– True or False: Whenever the sum of two signed
binary numbers has a sign bit of 1, the magnitude
of the sum is in 2’s complement form.
– Add the following pairs of signed numbers.
Express the sum as a signed binary number and as
a decimal number
• (a) 100111+111011
• (b) 100111+011001
 6-4 Subtraction in the 2’s-
complement System
• The procedure for subtracting one binary number(the
subtrahend) from another binary number(the minuend)
– Negate the subtrahend. This will change the
subtrahend to its equivalent value of opposite
sign.
– Add this to the minuend. The result of this
addition will represent the difference between
the subtrahend and the minuend.
 Arithmetic Overflow

• When two positive or two negative numbers are being

added, an overflow could occur if there is a carry
happening to the sign-bit position.
• Overflow can occur when the minuend and subtrahend
have different signs.
 Review Questions

• Perform the subtraction on the following pairs of

signed numbers using the 2’s-complement system.
Express the results as signed binary numbers and as
decimal values.
(a)01001-11010 (b)10010-10011
• How can arithmetic overflow be detected when signed
numbers are being added? Subtracted?
 6-5 Multiplication of Binary
numbers
• The same manner as the multiplication of decimal
numbers.
1001  multiplicand = 910
1011  multiplier=1110
1001
1001
0000
1001
1100011 final product = 9910
 Multiplication in the 2’s-
Complement System
• If the two numbers to be multiplied are positive,
they are already in true binary form and are
multiplied as they are.
• When the two numbers are negative, they will be in
2’s-complement form. Each is converted to a positive
number, and then the two numbers are multiplied. The
product is kept as a positive number and is given a
sign bit of 0.
• When one of the number is positive and the other is
negative, the negative number is first converted to
a positive magnitude by taking its 2’s complement.
The product will be in true-magnitude form, should
be changed to 2’s complement form and given a sign
bit of 1.
 Review Question

• Multiply the unsigned numbers 0111 and 1110

 6-6 Binary Division

• The same as for decimal numbers---long division

11
1001 100 1010.0
011 100
0011 100
11 100
0 0

The division of signed numbers is handled

in the same way as multiplication.

inserting the decimal equivalent for those digits
larger than 9.

expressed as a hex digit.

subtract 16 and carry a 1 to the next digit
position.

circuit in Figure 6-12 as a subtractor?
• Assume that [A]=0011 and [B]=0010 in Figure 6-13. If
ADD=1 and SUB=0, determine the logic levels at the
OR gate outputs.

used for subtraction, the 2’s complement of the
subtrahend appears at the input of the adder.
 6-16 BCD ADDER

• Add the BCD code groups for each decimal digit

position; use ordinary binary addition.
• For those positions where the sum is 9 or less, the
sum is in proper BCD form and no correction is
needed
• When the sum of two digits is greater than 9, a
correction of 0110 should be added to that sum to
produce the proper BCD result. This will produce a
carry to be added to the next decimal position.
