Explain the process of binary subtraction using borrowing with an example.
Perform the binary addition of 10110 and 11001, including carryovers.
Why are binary arithmetic operations limited to integers?
Subtract 1011 from 11001 in binary, showing borrowing steps.
How does the CPU handle binary carry with a bit, and why is it important?
Answers and Descriptions
Answer: 1100 – 0101 = 0111 (borrow from higher bits).
Description: Borrowing mimics decimal but in base 2.Answer: 10110 + 11001 = 101111 (carryovers).
Description: Bit-by-bit addition with carry propagation.Answer: Integers simplify CPU design, avoiding floating-point complexity.
Description: Reflects basic architecture scope.Answer: 11001 – 01011 = 01110.
Description: Align and borrow systematically.Answer: CPU uses carry flag for overflow, ensuring precision.
Description: Carry flag supports multi-byte arithmetic.
