To regroup related pieces of files on a hard drive should I use a disk defragmenter?

It depends: If you are using MS-DOS/Windows operating system, file fragmentation can slow disk access if it becomes excessive. Defragmentation will improve your performance. If you are using Linux/Unix/Mac OS X files do not become fragmented. If you plan to defragment your drive, you can optimize file location by using 3rd party disk defragmenters e.g., Norton Speed Disk. The strategy is to move more frequently accessed files to the locations nearer the center of the hard disk where they can be accessed faster. If you don't feel the need for spending a lot to gain little, you can use the built-in disk defragmenter by right clicking on the drive icon in 'My Computer', select 'Properties' and click on 'Defragmentation' from the 'Tools' tab.

When do you need to regroup in subtraction?
You need to regroup when you have something like 46-39. You would cross out the 6 and make it a 16, because you are taking ten from the 4, then you cross out the 4 then make it a three, then you should get 7.
Running the Disk Defragmenter utility will?
Running the Disk Defragmenter can help take fragmented files and make them contiguous, thereby reducing the input/output operations when later accessing that file. It should be understood that recording a file to disk to not ensure that it's recorded in one piece. In fact, frequently files are recorded in several pieces. In order to then access that file requires that each piece of that file be brought up seperately. The effect of which can slow performance and can lead to other problems in severe cases.

Why should you run disk clean up before running disk defragmenter?
Removing unnecessary data from your hard drive allows the free space and remaining data to be defragmented more efficiently - there is not a lot of point in re-organising temporary/trash data. Removing the data after defragmentation will leave disparate 'holes' of free space amid the existing data, which can lead to further fragmentation when new data is written to the storage device.
