Solution - Long subtraction
576
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
5 | 4 | 7 | 6 | |
- | 4 | 9 | 0 | 0 |
2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
6-0=6
Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
5 | 4 | 7 | 6 | |
- | 4 | 9 | 0 | 0 |
6 |
Subtract the numbers in the tens column from the top number:
7-0=7
Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
5 | 4 | 7 | 6 | |
- | 4 | 9 | 0 | 0 |
7 | 6 |
Because the upper digit (4) in the hundreds column is too small to get a positive difference, borrow 1 from the digit (5) in the next number place which becomes (4) and get (14).
Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
4 | 14 | |||
5 | 4 | 7 | 6 | |
- | 4 | 9 | 0 | 0 |
7 | 6 |
Subtract the numbers in the hundreds column from the top number:
14-9=5
Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
4 | 14 | |||
5 | 4 | 7 | 6 | |
- | 4 | 9 | 0 | 0 |
5 | 7 | 6 |
Subtract the numbers in the thousands column from the top number:
4-4=0
Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
4 | 14 | |||
5 | 4 | 7 | 6 | |
- | 4 | 9 | 0 | 0 |
