0.000001
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths | thousandths | ten thousandths | hundred thousandths | millionths |
| 1 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | |
| - | 1 | |||||||
| . |
Put zeros in the blank number places:
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths | thousandths | ten thousandths | hundred thousandths | millionths |
| 1 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | |
| - | 1 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| . |
2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method
Subtract the numbers in the millionths column from the top number:
1-0=1
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths | thousandths | ten thousandths | hundred thousandths | millionths |
| 1 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | |
| - | 1 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| . | 1 |
Subtract the numbers in the hundred thousandths column from the top number:
0-0=0
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths | thousandths | ten thousandths | hundred thousandths | millionths |
| 1 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | |
| - | 1 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| . | 0 | 1 |
Subtract the numbers in the ten thousandths column from the top number:
0-0=0
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths | thousandths | ten thousandths | hundred thousandths | millionths |
| 1 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | |
| - | 1 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| . | 0 | 0 | 1 |
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 |
| 1 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | |
| - | 1 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
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 |
| 1 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | |
| - | 1 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
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 |
| 1 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | |
| - | 1 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
1-1=0
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths | thousandths | ten thousandths | hundred thousandths | millionths |
| 1 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | |
| - | 1 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 0 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
The solution is: 0.000001
