Add the digits in the hundreds column:

9 + 3 = 12

How did we add the digits? Explanation below.

Group the ones together in order to make tens:


9 + 3 =


9 + 3 =


9 + 1 + 2 =


9 + 1 + 2 =


10 + 2 =


12


Change the order in which the numbers are added, the sum stays the same.
Break some number(s) into component parts, the sum stays the same.


The sum is a two-digit number: 12.


2 is the hundreds digit.
Write it down at the base of the hundreds column.


1 is the thousands digit.
Carry it over to the thousands column.
Write the digit above that column.
Add it with the rest of the digits in that column.

+  315

 2278

Addition result:

1,963 + 315 = 2,278

Answer:
- 1,963 - 315 = - 2,278

The initial operation has become:

1,001 - 1,963 + 545 - 315 =


1,546 - 2,278

Now subtract the final numbers above:
1,546 - 2,278 = ?

The second number is larger than the first.

The answer will be negative (less than zero).


To subtract the numbers just reverse them:

2,278 - 1,546 = ?


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 column by column; start from the column on the right

Subtract the digits in the ones column:

8 - 6 = 2.
2 is the ones digit.
Write it down at the base of the ones column.

Subtract the digits in the tens column:

7 - 4 = 3.
3 is the tens digit.
Write it down at the base of the tens column.

Subtract the digits in the hundreds column:

2 - 5 = ?

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.

After borrowing, the subtraction has become:
12 - 5 = 10 + 2 - 5 = 10 + 2 - 5 = 2 + (10 - 5) = 2 + 5 = 7.
7 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.

 0732

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:

0732 = 732

The answer will be negative (less than zero):

1,546 - 2,278 = - 732

Final answer:
1,001 - 1,963 + 545 - 315 = - 732

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.
