  2. Two's complement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two's_complement

    Two's complement is the most common method of representing signed (positive, negative, and zero) integers on computers, [1] and more generally, fixed point binary values. Two's complement uses the binary digit with the greatest value as the sign to indicate whether the binary number is positive or negative; when the most significant bit is 1 the number is signed as negative and when the most ...

  3. Signed number representations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signed_number_representations

    Addition of a pair of two's-complement integers is the same as addition of a pair of unsigned numbers (except for detection of overflow, if that is done); the same is true for subtraction and even for N lowest significant bits of a product (value of multiplication). For instance, a two's-complement addition of 127 and −128 gives the same ...

  4. Method of complements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_complements

    Using sign-magnitude representation requires only complementing the sign bit of the subtrahend and adding, but the addition/subtraction logic needs to compare the sign bits, complement one of the inputs if they are different, implement an end-around carry, and complement the result if there was no carry from the most significant bit.

  5. Booth's multiplication algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booth's_multiplication...

    The final value of P is the signed product. The representations of the multiplicand and product are not specified; typically, these are both also in two's complement representation, like the multiplier, but any number system that supports addition and subtraction will work as well. As stated here, the order of the steps is not determined.

  6. Unum (number format) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unum_(number_format)

    The quire format is a two's complement signed integer, interpreted as a multiple of units of magnitude except for the special value with a leading sign bit of 1 and all other bits equal to 0 (which represents NaR). Quires are based on the work of Ulrich W. Kulisch and Willard L. Miranker. [16]

  7. Adder–subtractor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adder–subtractor

    A 4-bit ripple-carry adder–subtractor based on a 4-bit adder that performs two's complement on A when D = 1 to yield S = B − A. Having an n-bit adder for A and B, then S = A + B. Then, assume the numbers are in two's complement. Then to perform B − A, two's complement theory says to invert each bit of A with a NOT gate then add one.

  9. Serial number arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_Number_Arithmetic

    It turns out that this is simply done using an unsigned subtraction and simply interpreting the result as a signed two's complement number. The result is the signed "distance" between the two sequence numbers. Once again, if i1 and i2 are the unsigned binary representations of the sequence numbers s 1 and s 2, the distance from s 1 to s 2 is
