2. Method of complements - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_complements

   The nines' complement of a number given in decimal representation is formed by replacing each digit with nine minus that digit. To subtract a decimal number y (the subtrahend) from another number x (the minuend) two methods may be used: In the first method, the nines' complement of x is added to y. Then the nines' complement of the result ...

3. 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.

4. Arithmetic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic

   Examples are = and =. Subtraction is often treated as a special case of addition: instead of subtracting a positive number, it is also possible to add a negative number. For instance = + (). This helps to simplify mathematical computations by reducing the number of basic arithmetic operations needed to perform calculations.

5. Elementary arithmetic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_arithmetic

   An example of a numeral system is the predominantly used Indo-Arabic numeral system (0 to 9), which uses a decimal positional notation. [3] Other numeral systems include the Kaktovik system (often used in the Eskimo-Aleut languages of Alaska, Canada, and Greenland), and is a vigesimal positional notation system. [4]

6. Catastrophic cancellation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catastrophic_cancellation

   Catastrophic cancellation may happen even if the difference is computed exactly, as in the example above—it is not a property of any particular kind of arithmetic like floating-point arithmetic; rather, it is inherent to subtraction, when the inputs are approximations themselves.

7. Carry (arithmetic) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carry_(arithmetic)

   The same carry bit is also generally used to indicate borrows in subtraction, though the bit's meaning is inverted due to the effects of two's complement arithmetic. Normally, a carry bit value of "1" signifies that an addition overflowed the ALU, and must be accounted for when adding data words of lengths greater than that of the CPU. For ...
