Some things to note when subtracting binary numbers during binary division: When carrying the 11, the next place value reads as 10 (or 2 decimal) in the top line of a subtraction. So, it follows that 10 reads as 10 = 2 decimal in the top line in binary. The same as 17 would read as 17 in the top line of a decimal subtraction. The payback of the 1 in the bottom line of the subtraction becomes 11 - which reads as 1 + 1 = 10 in binary, or 2 decimal. The following examples should help: Example 1: Perform the subtraction 58 1 in binary.

Example: Perform the division of 99 / 9 in binary. 1. Decimal 99 = 110 0011 Decimal 9 = 1001
100 1

1001 0110 ..ones complement 0111 .. Add 1 to get twos complement of 9 in binary
3. Perform long division by adding the twos complement to find the remainder, instead of subtracting the binary number of the divisor.
Binary 1 0 1 1 = 8 + 0 + 2 + 1 = 11 in decimal
