Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: How does binary addition work?
A: Binary addition follows simple rules: 0+0=0, 0+1=1, 1+0=1, and 1+1=10 (0 with a carry-over of 1). Carries are handled similarly to decimal addition.
Q: How does binary subtraction work?
A: Binary subtraction can be done using borrowing, similar to decimal subtraction, or more commonly in computing using two's complement representation for negative numbers.
Q: What happens in binary division?
A: Binary division is similar to long division in decimal, but uses binary subtraction and multiplication. Division by zero is undefined.
