Addition result:

1,650 + 1,490 + 867 + 1,097 = 5,104

Final answer:
- 1,650 - 1,490 - 867 - 1,097 = - 5,104

The initial operation has become:

1,590 - 1,650 - 1,490 + 1,284 - 867 - 1,097 =


2,874 - 5,104

Now subtract the final numbers above:
2,874 - 5,104 = ?

The second number is larger than the first.

The answer will be negative (less than zero).


To subtract the numbers just reverse them:

5,104 - 2,874 = ?


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

    0

Subtract the digits in the tens column:

0 - 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 hundreds: 1 - 1 = 0.
Cross out the top digit you've borrowed 1 from: 1.
Write the answer above that digit: 0.


When borrowing, 1 hundred = 10 tens.
Add 10 to the top digit in the column of the tens: 10 + 0 = 10.

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
