Sample Problems and Solutions

Problem 1: 8084 - 1991

Subtract starting from the ones column. 4 - 1 = 3. In the tens column, 8 is less than 9, so borrow from the hundreds. Since hundreds is 0, borrow from the thousands column (8 becomes 7). The hundreds becomes 10, then borrow 1 to make it 9, and the tens becomes 18. 18 - 9 = 9. In the hundreds column, 9 - 9 = 0. In the thousands column, 7 - 1 = 6. The final answer is 6093.

Answer: 6093

Problem 2: 4230 - 1276

Subtract the ones: 0 - 6 requires borrowing from the tens. Borrow 1 from the tens place (3 becomes 2) and give it to the ones (0 becomes 10). 10 - 6 = 4. For the tens, 2 - 7 requires borrowing from the hundreds. Borrow 1 from the hundreds place (2 becomes 1) and give it to the tens (2 becomes 12). 12 - 7 = 5. For the hundreds, 1 - 2 requires borrowing from the thousands. Borrow 1 from the thousands place (4 becomes 3) and give it to the hundreds (1 becomes 11). 11 - 2 = 9. Finally, for the thousands, 3 - 1 = 2. The final result is 2954.

Answer: 2954

Problem 3: 9610 - 1432

Start with the ones place: 0 - 2 requires borrowing. Borrow 1 from the tens (1 becomes 0), making the ones place 10. 10 - 2 = 8. In the tens place, 0 - 3 requires borrowing. Borrow 1 from the hundreds (6 becomes 5), making the tens place 10. 10 - 3 = 7. In the hundreds place, 5 - 4 = 1. In the thousands place, 9 - 1 = 8. The final answer is 8178.

Answer: 8178
