The number system is the naming or representing the numbers or the mathematical value that count or measure the object is simply known as number system. We have different ways to represent the number system like Binary number system, decimal number system, octal number system, and Hexadecimal number system. Now, let’s talk in more details.
Digital logic refers to the use of electronic circuits to represent and manipulate binary information. Binary information consists of sequences of ones and zeros, which can be used to represent data, instructions, or signals in various computer systems and electronic devices.

Digital logic circuits are built using electronic components such as transistors, diodes, and resistors, and they perform basic operations such as AND, OR, NOT, XOR, and NAND on binary signals. These circuits can be combined in various ways to create more complex logic functions and circuits, such as flip-flops, registers, and microprocessors.
Digital logic is a fundamental concept in the field of computer engineering and is used in the design and development of digital systems, such as computers, smartphones, and other electronic devices. Understanding digital logic is essential for designing and implementing digital circuits and systems

Decimal number system
The decimal number system is very popular in our daily life. In decimal number system ten symbols are used the end and the base of system is equal to 10. The ten symbol of digit are (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9).
Binary number system
Binary number system is one whose base is two(2). That is there is only two symbols or digits i.e (0,1).
Octal number system
Octal number system is one whose base is 8. Eight symbols or digits are used (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7).
Hexadecimal number system
Hexadecimal Number system is one whose base is 16. That means there is 16 symbol or digits i.e (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F)

Here is example of conversion of binary to decimal number.

Example of decimal to binary number

Complement of number system
A complement of Binary number system is obtained when each bit inverted i.e 0 change to 1 and 1 change to 0.
Types of complement
- 1s complement
- 2s complement
1’s complement
The 1’s complement of binary number system is defined as the value obtained by inverting all bits in binary representation of number . the 1’s complement of number then behaves like Negative of original number.
example 1’s complement of 0111 is 1000
or 1010 is 0101.
2’s complement
To get 2’s complement of binary Number.Simply invert number and add 1 at its LSB (least significant bit) of given result .
Example 2’s complement of 10101110
simply invert each bit of given binary number is 01010001 then add 1 at LSB ,

Subtraction by 1’s complement
The state to be followed in subtraction by 1’s complement are given below:
- Write down the 1’s complement of subtrahend.
- Add this with the minuend.
- If the result of sum is carry over then it is dropped and 1 is added to the LSB .
- If there is no carry over then invert the sum and get the final result and it is negative.
Example
(110101)2 - (100101)2 subtrahend= 100101 minuend=110101 1's complement of subtrahend is 011010 add this with minuend 011010 +110101 1 001111 here 1 is carry over so as we know the steps 001111 +1 (010000)2
Next example of no carry over (101011)2 -(111001)2 Here Subtrahend = 111001 Minuend = 101011 now 1's complement of subtrahend 000110 Add this with minuend 000110 +101011 110001 here is no carry over then simply invert the answer 110001 into 001110 and put negative sign before it -(001110)2 answer...
Subtraction by 2’s complement method
The complement operation is carried by means of following steps:
- At first 2’s complement of subtrahend is calculated.
- Then it is added to the minuend.
- If the final result is carried over of the sum is one (1) then it is dropped and the result is positive.
- But the final result is no carry over then do 2’s complement of the result and put negative sign in front of that.
Example: (1001)2-(0100)2 Subtrahend = 0100 Minuend = 1001 2's complement of subtrahend is 1100 1011 invert and add 1 in LSB 1011 + 1 1100 Add this to minuend 1100 +1001 1 0101 here 1 carry over, as we know if carry over drop the carry (0101) 2 is the answer.
Next example (0110)2-(1011)2 subtrahend = 1011 Minuend = 0110 2's complement of subtrahend is 0100 +1 0101 Add this with minuend 0101 +0110 1011 here is no carry over now 2's complement of this sum. 0100 +1 0101 -(0101)2
9’s And 10’s complement
9’s complement = It is obtained by subtracting each digit of number from nine .
Example: 9's complement of 347. 999 -347 (652)10 answer...
10’s complement = It is obtained by adding 1 in the 9’s complement.
Example: find the 10's complement of 347 is 999 -347 652 Now 652 +1 (653)10 this is the 10's complement of 347...
Subtraction from 9’s complement
for example: (745)10-(436)10 using 9's complement 1. first find the 9's complement of subtrahend 436 is subtrahend here Now 999 -436 563 2. Add this with minuend (745) is here minuend 563 +745 1 308 here 1 is carry over 3. now if carry over is obtained the number is positive and then add that carry to LSB of that sum 308 +1 309 4. if there is no carry over then that number is negative so take 9's complement of that sum and out neg sign in front of that result. (436)10 - (745)10 subtrahend = 745 minuend = 436 9's complement of subtrahend 999 -745 254 Add that with the minuend 254 + 436 690 here is no carry over so do 9's complement of that sum 999 - 690 309 -(309)10 answer ...
Subtraction from 10’s complement
example (928)10 -(416)10 using 10's complement subtrahend = 416 minuend = 928 1. find the 10's complement of subtrahend 999 - 416 583 +1 (584) = this is 10's complement 2. Add this to minuend 583 +928 1 512 here 1 is carry over 3. If there is carry over it means that it is positive and ignore the carry . (512)10 4. If there is no carry over then that means it is negative than take 10's complement of the sum and place neg sign before. (3250)10-(72532)10 subtrahend = 72532 minuend = 3250 10's complement of the subtrahend is 99999 -72532 27467 +1 27468 Add this with minuend 27468 + 3250 30718 here is no carry over Now, again 10's complement of sum result 99999 - 30718 69281 +1 69282 answer is -(69282)10 .... ,
Arithmetic operation with signed numbers
The two numbers in an addition the addend and the augent the result is sum . There are four cases arrises.
- Both are positive .
- Positive numbers with magnitude larger than negative number.
- Negative number with magnitude larger than positive number.
- both are negative .
Both are positive
Addition of two positive number result a positive number. example +7 and +4 00000111 +00000100 00001011
Positive number with magnitude larger than negative
Addition of positive number and negative number results positive. example +15 and -6 here, +15 =00001111 6=00000110 -6=11111001 +1 11111010 now, 00001111 +11111010 1 00001001 here this 1 carry is dropped and answer is (00001001)2
Negative number with magnitude larger than positive.
Addition of the positive no and larger negative number results negative no in 2's complement form. -24 and +16 here +16=00010000 24=00011000 -24=11100111 +1 11101000 now 00010000 +11101000 11111000 here no carry over so do 2's complement of this sum 00000111 +1 (00001000)2 answer is -(00001000)2
Both are negative
Addition of two negative number results negative numbers is 2's complement. -5 and -9 here 5=00000101 -5=11111010 +1 > 11111011 9=00001001 -9=11110110 +1 >11110111 now 11111011 +11110111 >1 11110010 here 1 is carry over so answer is 00001101 +1 >00001110 -(00001110)2 answer...
Conclusion: Overall, we can say that the numbers system is the naming or representing the numbers or the mathematical value that count or measure the object is simply known as number system. From the above paragraph we clear about the number system like Decimal number system, Binary number system, Octal number system, and the Hexadecimal number system.
After that we discuss about the complement of number system like 1’s complement , 2’s complement, 9’s complement and 10’s complement with some of the fine examples. I hope you got some ideas about the number system of Digitology with it’s different complements.
