2. Signed number representations - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signed_number_representations

   There are two ways to represent zero, 00000000 (0) and 10000000 . Addition and subtraction require different behavior depending on the sign bit, whereas ones' complement can ignore the sign bit and just do an end-around carry, and two's complement can ignore the sign bit and depend on the overflow behavior.

   A subtraction problem such as is solved by borrowing a 10 from the tens place to add to the ones place in order to facilitate the subtraction. Subtracting 9 from 6 involves borrowing a 10 from the tens place, making the problem into +. This is indicated by crossing out the 8, writing a 7 above it, and writing a 1 above the 6.

4. Subtraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtraction

   While primarily associated with natural numbers in arithmetic, subtraction can also represent removing or decreasing physical and abstract quantities using different kinds of objects including negative numbers, fractions, irrational numbers, vectors, decimals, functions, and matrices. [2] In a sense, subtraction is the inverse of addition.

5. Negative number - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_number

   For example, negative three is the result of subtracting three from zero: 0 − 3 = −3. In general, the subtraction of a larger number from a smaller yields a negative result, with the magnitude of the result being the difference between the two numbers.

   Mapping the nonzero digits to the alphabet and zero to the space is occasionally used to provide checksums for alphabetic data such as personal names, [54] to provide a concise encoding of alphabetic strings, [55] or as the basis for a form of gematria. [56] Compact notation for ternary. 28: Months timekeeping. 30: Trigesimal

   The subtraction operator: a binary operator to indicate the operation of subtraction, as in 5 − 3 = 2. Subtraction is the inverse of addition. [1] The function whose value for any real or complex argument is the additive inverse of that argument. For example, if x = 3, then −x = −3, but if x = −3, then −x = +3.
