Program for subtraction of multi-byte BCD numbers in 8085 Microprocessor


Here we will see one program that can perform subtraction for multi-byte BCD numbers using 8085 microprocessor.

Problem Statement 

Write an 8085 Assembly language program to subtract two multi-byte BCD numbers.

Discussion 

The numbers are stored into memory, and one additional information is stored. It will show us the byte count of the multi-byte BCD number. Here we are choosing 3-byte BCD numbers. They are stored at location 8001H to 8003H, and another number is stored at location 8004H to 8006H. The location 8000H is holding the byte count. In this case the byte count is 03H.

For the subtraction we are using the 10’s complement method for subtraction.

In this case the numbers are: 672173 – 275188 = 376985
