Addition result:
424 + 391 = 815
Answer:
- 424 - 391 = - 815
The initial operation has become:
- 424 + 480 - 391 + 641 + 485 =
1,606 - 815
Now subtract the final numbers above:
1,606 - 815 = ?
Stack the numbers on top of each other.
The ones digits line up in the first column from the right.

And so on...
Subtract column by column; start from the column on the right
Subtract the digits in the ones column:
6 - 5 = 1.
1 is the ones digit.
Write it down at the base of the ones column.
Subtract the digits in the tens column:
0 - 1 = ?
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: 6 - 1 = 5.
Cross out the top digit you've borrowed 1 from: 6.
Write the answer above that digit: 5.
When borrowing, 1 hundred = 10 tens.
Add 10 to the top digit in the column of the tens: 10 + 0 = 10.
After borrowing, the subtraction has become:
10 - 1 = 9.
9 is the tens digit.
Write it down at the base of the tens column.
Subtract the digits in the hundreds column:
6 5 - 8 = ?
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: 1 - 1 = 0.
Cross out the top digit you've borrowed 1 from: 1.
Write the answer above that digit: 0.
When borrowing, 1 thousand = 10 hundreds.
Add 10 to the top digit in the column of the hundreds: 10 + 5 = 15.
After borrowing, the subtraction has become:
15 - 8 = 10 + 5 - 8 = 10 + 5 - 8 = 5 + (10 - 8) = 5 + 2 = 7.
7 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: 1 0.
0 is the thousands digit.
Write it down at the base of the thousands column.
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:
0791 = 791
Final answer:
- 424 + 480 - 391 + 641 + 485 = 791
