| 0 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 9 | 7 | |
| - | 0 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 3 |
| . | 4 |
Subtract the numbers in the hundred thousandths column from the top number:
9-1=8
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths | thousandths | ten thousandths | hundred thousandths | millionths |
| 0 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 9 | 7 | |
| - | 0 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 3 |
| . | 8 | 4 |
Subtract the numbers in the ten thousandths column from the top number:
1-1=0
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths | thousandths | ten thousandths | hundred thousandths | millionths |
| 0 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 9 | 7 | |
| - | 0 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 3 |
| . | 0 | 8 | 4 |
Subtract the numbers in the thousandths column from the top number:
0-0=0
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths | thousandths | ten thousandths | hundred thousandths | millionths |
| 0 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 9 | 7 | |
| - | 0 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 3 |
| . | 0 | 0 | 8 | 4 |
Subtract the numbers in the hundredths column from the top number:
0-0=0
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths | thousandths | ten thousandths | hundred thousandths | millionths |
| 0 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 9 | 7 | |
| - | 0 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 3 |
| . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 8 | 4 |
Subtract the numbers in the tenths column from the top number:
0-0=0
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths | thousandths | ten thousandths | hundred thousandths | millionths |
| 0 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 9 | 7 | |
| - | 0 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 3 |
| . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 8 | 4 |
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
0-0=0
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths | thousandths | ten thousandths | hundred thousandths | millionths |
| 0 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 9 | 7 | |
| - | 0 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 3 |
| 0 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 8 | 4 |
The solution is: 0.000084
