Question

Find the difference:

$\mathrm{Th}\mathrm{H}\mathrm{T}\mathrm{O}4842-3146$

Answer 1

Step 1: Subtract the ones

Given difference: $\mathrm{Th}\mathrm{H}\mathrm{T}\mathrm{O}4842-3146$

As $2$ is lesser than $6$, we can not subtract directly

Take $1$carry from tens ,

Now, $2$ becomes $12$ in ones place ( Extra $1$ carry from tens )

First subtract ones $12-6=6$,

Write $6$ under ones column

Step 2: subtract the tens

$4$ becomes $3$ in tens place ( as $1$ carry taken by ones)

Now, $3$ is lesser than $4$, we can not subtract directly

So, take $1$ carry from hundreds and $3$ becomes $13$

Next subtract tens $13-4=9$,

Write $9$ under tens column .

Step 3: Subtract the hundreds

Now, $8$ becomes $7$ in hundreds place

Next subtract hundreds $7-1=6$,

Write $6$ under hundreds column .

Step 4: Subtract the thousands

And finally subtract thousand $4-3=1$

So we get,

$\mathrm{Th}\mathrm{H}\mathrm{T}\mathrm{O}4842-31461696$

Hence, the required solution is $1696$
