Final answer:
- 1,100 - 1,023 - 1,101 = - 3,224

The initial operation has become:

- 1,100 - 1,023 - 1,101 + 974 + 1,524 =


2,498 - 3,224

Now subtract the final numbers above:
2,498 - 3,224 = ?

The second number is larger than the first.

The answer will be negative (less than zero).


To subtract the numbers just reverse them:

3,224 - 2,498 = ?


But at the end attach a minus sign in front of the result.

Subtract column by column; start with the column on the right

Subtract the digits in the ones column:

4 - 8 = ?

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 tens: 2 - 1 = 1.
Cross out the top digit you've borrowed 1 from: 2.
Write the answer above that digit: 1.


When borrowing, 1 ten = 10 ones.
Add 10 to the top digit in the column of the ones: 10 + 4 = 14.

After borrowing, the subtraction has become:
14 - 8 = 10 + 4 - 8 = 10 + 4 - 8 = 4 + (10 - 8) = 4 + 2 = 6.
6 is the ones digit.
Write it down at the base of the ones column.

Borrow from the next column to the left.

Subtract 1 from the top digit in the column of the hundreds: 2 - 1 = 1.
Cross out the top digit you've borrowed 1 from: 2.
Write the answer above that digit: 1.


When borrowing, 1 hundred = 10 tens.
Add 10 to the top digit in the column of the tens: 10 + 1 = 11.

After borrowing, the subtraction has become:
11 - 9 = 10 + 1 - 9 = 10 + 1 - 9 = 1 + (10 - 9) = 1 + 1 = 2.
2 is the tens digit.
Write it down at the base of the tens column.

The second digit is larger than the first.
Borrow from the next column to the left.

Subtract 1 from the top digit in the column of the thousands: 3 - 1 = 2.
Cross out the top digit you've borrowed 1 from: 3.
Write the answer above that digit: 2.


When borrowing, 1 thousand = 10 hundreds.
Add 10 to the top digit in the column of the hundreds: 10 + 1 = 11.

   26

After borrowing, the subtraction has become:
11 - 4 = 10 + 1 - 4 = 10 + 1 - 4 = 1 + (10 - 4) = 1 + 6 = 7.
7 is the hundreds digit.
Write it down at the base of the hundreds column.

 0726

Leading zeros

When leading zeros occupy the most significant digits of a natural number, they could be left blank and the numeric value stays the same:

0726 = 726

The answer will be negative (less than zero):

2,498 - 3,224 = - 726

Final answer:
- 1,100 - 1,023 - 1,101 + 974 + 1,524 = - 726

How to subtract numbers? Let's learn with an example

The operation to perform: 52 - 37

Method used below: column subtracting, from right to left (traditional)


  • Stack the numbers on top of each other.
    • The ones digits line up in the first column from the right.
    • The tens digits line up in the next column to the left.
    •  52
      - 37

      ?
  • Subtract column by column; start with the column on the right.
  • Subtract the digits in the ones column: 2 - 7 = ?
    • The second digit is larger than the first. We need to borrow from the next column to the left:
      • Subtract 1 from the top digit in the column of the tens: 5 - 1 = 4.
      • Cross out the top digit you've borrowed 1 from: 5.
      • Write the answer above that digit: 4.
      • When borrowing, 1 ten = 10 ones: add 10 to the top digit in the column of the ones: 10 + 2 = 12.
    •  4 
       512
      - 37

         
    • After borrowing, the subtraction has become: 12 - 7 = 5.
    • 5 is the ones digit - write it down at the base of the ones column:
      •  4 
         512
        - 37

          5
  • Subtract the digits in the tens column:
    • 5 4 - 3 = 1.
    • 1 is the tens digit - write it down at the base of the tens column.
    •  4 
       512
      - 37

       15
  • Final answer: 52 - 37 = 15
