Definition:Definition:
Vinculum numbers are a mixture of positive digits and
negative digits in the same number.
Two sutras are used to convert Vinculum to Normal.
“Nikhilam navatascaramam dasatah”
“Ekanyunena purvena”
Note: Using Vinculum numbers, numbers which have digits greater than5
can be reduced to numbers which have all digits less than or
equal to 5.

Algorithm:
Take complement of bar (negative) digits.
Subtract one from the digit preceding the bar digit(s).
Note: Only digits that have a bar on them are converted to natural
numbers.
0 =0. This can be used to make the conversion simpler,.

Find Normal No of = 3 0 2 1
3 0 2 1
(∴0 is left to a bar no extend the bar to zero also)
Complement of 02=98
Previous of 02 is 3,so 3-1=2
All other places are retained as they are then 1=1

Find Normal No of = 3 4 2 1 3
6 9
3 4 2 1 3
2 1 3
9 is Complement of 1 & 6 is Complement of 4
Previous digits 3&2 are reduced by 1,so2&1
All other places are retained as they are then 3=3
