Final answer:
- 1,002 - 1,956 = - 2,958
The initial operation has become:
- 1,002 - 1,956 + 520 + 342 =
862 - 2,958
Now subtract the final numbers above:
862 - 2,958 = ?
The second number is larger than the first.
The answer will be negative (less than zero).
To subtract the numbers just reverse them:
2,958 - 862 = ?
But at the end attach a minus sign in front of the result.

Subtract the digits in the ones column:
8 - 2 = 6.
6 is the ones digit.
Write it down at the base of the ones column.
Subtract the digits in the tens column:
5 - 6 = ?
The second digit is larger than the first.
Borrow from the next column to the left.
The borrowing is a two step process:
Subtract 1 from the top digit in the column of the hundreds: 9 - 1 = 8.
Cross out the top digit you've borrowed 1 from: 9.
Write the answer above that digit: 8.
When borrowing, 1 hundred = 10 tens.
Add 10 to the top digit in the column of the tens: 10 + 5 = 15.
After borrowing, the subtraction has become:
15 - 6 = 10 + 5 - 6 = 10 + 5 - 6 = 5 + (10 - 6) = 5 + 4 = 9.
9 is the tens digit.
Write it down at the base of the tens column.
Subtract the digits in the hundreds column:
9 8 - 8 = 0.
0 is the hundreds digit.
Write it down at the base of the hundreds column.
Subtract the digits in the thousands column:
There is a single digit in this column: 2.
2 is the thousands digit.
Write it down at the base of the thousands column.
The answer will be negative (less than zero):
862 - 2,958 = - 2,096
Final answer:
- 1,002 - 1,956 + 520 + 342 = - 2,096
