The Last Step:

Thousands place:

Subtract the numbers in the thousands place.

60 = 6

Write 6 to the thousands place.


All Steps:

Ones place:

2 < 3

Borrow 1 from the tens place.


Tens place:

After borrowing from the tens place the number in the tens place reduces by 1 and and becomes 0

11 = 0


Ones place:

Add 10 to the ones place.

2 + 10 = 12


Ones place:

Subtract the numbers in the ones place.

123 = 9

Write 9 to the ones place.


Tens place:

0 < 9

Borrow 1 from the ones place.


Hundreds place:

After borrowing from the hundreds place the number in the hundreds place reduces by 1 and and becomes 4

51 = 4


Tens place:

Add 10 to the tens place.

0 + 10 = 10


Tens place:

Subtract the numbers in the tens place.

109 = 1

Write 1 to the tens place.


Hundreds place:

4 < 7

Borrow 1 from the tens place.


Thousands place:

After borrowing from the thousands place the number in the thousands place reduces by 1 and and becomes 6

71 = 6


Hundreds place:

Add 10 to the hundreds place.

4 + 10 = 14


Hundreds place:

Subtract the numbers in the hundreds place.

147 = 7

Write 7 to the hundreds place.

INFORMATION

LONG SUBTRACTION

Follow the steps below in long subtraction.

  • Long subtraction step 1

    Write the numbers so that the same places are aligned in the same column.

  • Long subtraction step 2

    Start subtracting numbers from the right-most digit and each time move one digit to the left.

  • Long subtraction step 3

    In any digit, if the number on top is greater than or equal to the number on bottom, do the subtraction and write the result to the same place.

  • Long subtraction step 4

    If the number on top is smaller than the number on bottom, move left until a non-zero number is reached on top.

  • Long subtraction step 5

    Borrow 1 from the first non-zero number and reduce it by 1.

  • Long subtraction step 6

    Add 10 to one digit right and move to that digit.

  • Long subtraction step 7

    Continue regrouping and adding 10 to the lower digit until the digit to be subtracted is reached.

  • Long subtraction step 8

    Do the subtraction and move one digit left.
