The binary subtraction technique is, again, the same as the similar operation in the decimal system. However, it is convenient to revise the subtraction operation in decimal to understand the binary operation, which is simpler. The terms that take part in the subtraction are minuend (column), subtrahend (row) and difference, the subtraction giving 1 or 0, and there will be a borrow when 0 - 1 is subtracted.
