How does difficulty adjustment work ?

[Technologov]

Hi,

I know when difficulty adjusted higher, more zeroes need to be put in the block hash, like 0x0000...
But adding one more zero bit doubles the difficulty. 2x.
How does Bitcoin handle slight difficulty increase, like +10% ?

Thanks in advance
