Obviously, this should be scaled up for fom0 purposes, because we will be counting to higher numbers than 15. The logic however remains the same, we just start by subtracting higher numbers for higher places. | Obviously, this should be scaled up for fom0 purposes, because we will be counting to higher numbers than 15.

+ | One more thing to note, conditions like "Is 5 - 4 >= 0?" can be simplified to "Is 5 >= 4?". Both are accurate ways of looking at this method. The point of this method is to see whether a particular number contains another number. If you can subtract one number from another then that number must contain what is subtractable. If a number is greater than or equal to another number, then it must contain the number it is greater than or equal to. | ||
