Solution - Long subtraction
9,954
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 9 | 9 | 9 | 0 | |
| - | 3 | 6 | ||
2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method
Because the upper digit (0) in the ones column is too small to get a positive difference, borrow 1 from the digit (9) in the next number place which becomes (8) and get (10).
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 8 | 10 | |||
| 9 | 9 | 9 | 0 | |
| - | 3 | 6 | ||
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
10-6=4
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 8 | 10 | |||
| 9 | 9 | 9 | 0 | |
| - | 3 | 6 | ||
| 4 |
Subtract the numbers in the tens column from the top number:
8-3=5
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 8 | 10 | |||
| 9 | 9 | 9 | 0 | |
| - | 3 | 6 | ||
| 5 | 4 |
Write 9 in the hundreds place.
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 8 | 10 | |||
| 9 | 9 | 9 | 0 | |
| - | 3 | 6 | ||
| 9 | 5 | 4 |
Write 9 in the thousands place.
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 8 | 10 | |||
| 9 | 9 | 9 | 0 | |
| - | 3 | 6 | ||
| 9 | 9 | 5 | 4 |
The solution is: 9,954
