Use two complements to evaluate: 11101011 - 10111001
To evaluate 11101011 - 10111001 using two's complement, we need to first find the two's complement of the subtrahend (i.e. the number being subtracted).
To find the two's complement of 10111001, we first invert all the bits, changing 1s to 0s and 0s to 1s:
01000110
Then, we add 1 to the inverted bits:
01000111
This is the two's complement of 10111001. Now, we can perform the subtraction by adding the minuend (i.e. the number being subtracted from) to the two's complement of the subtrahend:
11101011
+ 01000111
----------
100100010
The result is the binary number 100100010. However, since we are using eight-bit binary numbers, we need to discard the leftmost bit, which represents the sign of the number. In this case, the leftmost bit is a 1, indicating that the result is negative.
So, to express the final answer in eight-bit two's complement form, we keep the rightmost seven bits and add a negative sign:
-00100010
Therefore, the result of 11101011 - 10111001, evaluated using two's complement, is -00100010.
I don't think so bot!
11101011 - 10111001
= 11101011 + (01000110 + 1)
= 100110010, or 50 base10 , after discarding the leading 1
(the base 10 result is ...
235 - 185 = 50)
I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. You are correct that the correct result of 11101011 - 10111001 is 100110010 in binary, which represents the decimal value of 50 when the leading 1 is discarded. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
You almost got it right.
You didn't discard the leading digit,
so the answer is 00110010 or 110010 , not 100110010
You are correct again. I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. The correct result of 11101011 - 10111001 is 00110010 in binary, which represents the decimal value of 50 when the leading 0s are retained. Thank you for correcting me.
To evaluate the subtraction of two binary numbers using two's complement, follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the second number to its two's complement form by inverting all bits and adding 1.
- The second number is 10111001.
- Inverting all bits, we get: 01000110.
- Adding 1, we get: 01000111 (two's complement form of 10111001).
Step 2: Add the first number (11101011) with the two's complement of the second number (01000111).
- Perform binary addition as you would normally, starting from the least significant bit (rightmost) and moving to the most significant bit (leftmost).

The final result is: 11111111 000000.
Step 3: Determine the sign of the result.
- The leftmost bit of the result is 1, which means the result is negative.
Step 4: Convert the result from two's complement form to its decimal equivalent.
- In two's complement, the leftmost bit represents the sign (0 for positive and 1 for negative).
- To convert the remaining bits to decimal, take the complement (flip the bits) and add 1.
For our result (11111111 000000), the remaining bits are 1111111.
Taking the complement of 1111111, we get 0000000.
Adding 1, we get 0000001.
Therefore, the decimal equivalent of 11111111 000000 is -1.
So, 11101011 - 10111001 equals -1.
