Line 735:
If there are a different number of nibbles being added together (such as 1053 − 2), the number with the fewer digits must first be prefixed with zeros before taking the ten's complement or subtracting. So, with 1053 − 2, 2 would have to first be represented as 0002 in BCD, and the ten's complement of 0002 would have to be calculated.

<!-- not at all clear why this needs to be here at all, shouldn't the article just describe BCD? (mfc)-->
<!--as an alternative number system for computing and electronics imo a comparison to the standard one is justified (plugwash)-->
