Abstract

The subject of Boolean subtraction and division dates back for over a century to the work of George Boole. Nevertheless, this subject is unfamiliar to us because it has been banished from Boolean algebra. In fact, some authors claim that there is no such thing as Boolean subtraction and division. The purpose of this work, however, is to present with clarity the subject of logical subtraction and division and its practical application in the design of digital circuits.
