We start by aligning the two binary numbers with the least significant bits (rightmost bits) in the same column.
In each column, we perform binary subtraction just like in decimal subtraction, where we consider borrow if needed.
In the first column, 0 - 1 results in 1, with a borrow of 1.
In the second column, 1 - 1 results in 0, with no borrow.
In the third column, 1 - 0 results in 1, with no borrow.
In the fourth column, 0 - 0 results in 0, with no borrow.
Finally, in the leftmost column, 0 - 1 results in 1, with no borrow.
We write down the results of each subtraction step, which gives us the final result
10101.
So, the binary subtraction of 00000110 from 11110011 yields the binary result 10101.
