 1437

Addition result:

957 + 480 = 1,437

Answer:
- 957 - 480 = - 1,437

The initial operation has become:

- 957 + 1,945 - 480 + 292 =


2,237 - 1,437

Now subtract the final numbers above:
2,237 - 1,437 = ?

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 column by column; start from the column on the right

Subtract the digits in the ones column:

7 - 7 = 0.
0 is the ones digit.
Write it down at the base of the ones column.

    0

Subtract the digits in the tens column:

3 - 3 = 0.
0 is the tens digit.
Write it down at the base of the tens column.

   00

Subtract the digits in the hundreds column:

2 - 4 = ?

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


When borrowing, 1 thousand = 10 hundreds.
Add 10 to the top digit in the column of the hundreds: 10 + 2 = 12.

   00

After borrowing, the subtraction has become:
12 - 4 = 10 + 2 - 4 = 10 + 2 - 4 = 2 + (10 - 4) = 2 + 6 = 8.
8 is the hundreds digit.
Write it down at the base of the hundreds column.

Subtract the digits in the thousands column:

2 1 - 1 = 0.
0 is the thousands digit.
Write it down at the base of the thousands column.

 0800

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:

0800 = 800

Final answer:
- 957 + 1,945 - 480 + 292 = 800

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.
