As we've said before,
When subtracting
larger whole numbers,
start in the ONES column and move left.
But sometimes
we can't subtract
from the column we're in,
so we need to borrow from the column to the left.
567 - 385 =
|
|
You can't
subtract 6-8 in the TENS
column,...
So you borrow
one group of hundreds
from
the 5 in the
HUNDREDS column.
You now have only 4 left in the
HUNDREDS
column,
and
add the group of hundred you borrowed to the 6
in the TENS column,
to now give you 16.
then :
7-5 =
2 (ones column),
16-8 = 8
(tens column),
and
4-3 = 1
(hundreds column) |
563 - 137 =
|
|
You can't subtract
1-8 in the ONES
column,...
So you borrow
one group of ten
from
the 4 in the
TENS column.
You now have only 3 left in the TENS
column,
and
add the group of ten you borrowed to the 1
in the ONES column, to now give you 11.
then :
11-8 =
3 (ones column),
3-2 = 1
(tens column),
and
9-5 = 4
(hundreds column)

REMEMBER:
Always start subtracting
from the ONES column, and
move your way left
!
If you CAN'T subtract
from the column you're in,
you need to borrow one
from the column to the left.
