Hello,

In order to be simple: let's code hexadecimal numbers on 4 digits.

Example: 500-200=300 (in décimal)

$500_{10}=01F4_{16}\\\\
200_{10}=00C8_{16}\\\\
For\ subtract\ 00C8\ we\ calculate\ 15th\ complement\\\\
C_{15}(00C8)=FF37\\\\

16th\ complement= FF37+0001=FF38\\\\

Then\ we\ add\\\\

01F4+FF38=(1)012C\ on\4\ digits:\ 012C\\

012C_{16}=300_{16}
