Subtract the numbers: - 47,663 + 9,633 = ? Calculate the numbers difference and learn how to do the subtraction, column subtracting method, from right to left

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

Rewrite the initial operation:

- 47,663 + 9,633 =


9,633 - 47,663

Subtract the numbers:
9,633 - 47,663 = ?

The second number is larger than the first.

The answer will be negative (less than zero).


To subtract the numbers just reverse them:

47,663 - 9,633 = ?


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


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.

And so on...

Subtract the digits in the thousands column:

7 - 9 = ?

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 ten thousands: 4 - 1 = 3.
Cross out the top digit you've borrowed 1 from: 4.
Write the answer above that digit: 3.


When borrowing, 1 ten thousand = 10 thousands.
Add 10 to the top digit in the column of the thousands: 10 + 7 = 17.

After borrowing, the subtraction has become:
17 - 9 = 10 + 7 - 9 = 10 + 7 - 9 = 7 + (10 - 9) = 7 + 1 = 8.
8 is the thousands digit.
Write it down at the base of the thousands column.

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 from the column on the right

Subtract the digits in the ones column:

2 - 7 = ?

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: 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.
