Question

Find the difference:

$$\begin{gathered} 5162 \\ -1644 \\ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \\ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \end{gathered}$$

Answer 1

Step $1:$ Subtract the ones

Since, we cannot subtract $4$ ones from $2$ ones. So, borrow $1$ ten.

$12-4=8$ ;

Step $2:$ Subtract the tens

We are left with $5$ tens.

So, $5-4=1$

Step $3:$ Subtract the hundreds

Since, we cannot subtract $1$ hundred from $6$ hundred. So, borrow $1$ thousand.

So, $11-6=5$

Step $4:$ Subtract the thousands

We are left with $4$ thousands.

So, $4-1=3$

Therefore,

$$\begin{gathered} 5162 \\ -1644 \\ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \\ 3518 \end{gathered}$$
