Binary number a separate "subtract" operation. Using two's complement notation subtraction can be summarized by the following formula: A − B = A + not B + 1 Multiplication in binary is similar to its decimal counterpart. Two numbers and can be multiplied by partial products: for each digit in , the product of that digit in is calculated and written on a new line, shifted leftward so that its rightmost digit lines up with the digit in that was used. The sum of all these partial products gives the final result. Since there are only two digits in binary, there are
Binary number is either doubled or has the first number added back into it; the order in which these steps are to be performed is given by the binary representation of the second number. This method can be seen in use, for instance, in the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus, which dates to around 1650 BC. The I Ching dates from the 9th century BC in China. The binary notation in the "I Ching" is used to interpret its quaternary divination technique. It is based on taoistic duality of yin and yang. eight trigrams (Bagua) and a set of 64 hexagrams ("sixty-four" gua), analogous
