Solution - Long subtraction
3,761
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 8 | 1 | 6 | 1 | |
| - | 4 | 4 | 0 | 0 |
2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
1-0=1
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 8 | 1 | 6 | 1 | |
| - | 4 | 4 | 0 | 0 |
| 1 |
Subtract the numbers in the tens column from the top number:
6-0=6
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 8 | 1 | 6 | 1 | |
| - | 4 | 4 | 0 | 0 |
| 6 | 1 |
Because the upper digit (1) in the hundreds column is too small to get a positive difference, borrow 1 from the digit (8) in the next number place which becomes (7) and get (11).
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 7 | 11 | |||
| 8 | 1 | 6 | 1 | |
| - | 4 | 4 | 0 | 0 |
| 6 | 1 |
Subtract the numbers in the hundreds column from the top number:
11-4=7
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 7 | 11 | |||
| 8 | 1 | 6 | 1 | |
| - | 4 | 4 | 0 | 0 |
| 7 | 6 | 1 |
Subtract the numbers in the thousands column from the top number:
7-4=3
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 7 | 11 | |||
| 8 | 1 | 6 | 1 | |
| - | 4 | 4 | 0 | 0 |
| 3 | 7 | 6 | 1 |
The solution is: 3,761
