Solution - Long subtraction
1,091,000
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
| Place value | millions | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | |
| - | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | ||
2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
1-1=0
| Place value | millions | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | |
| - | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | ||
| 0 |
Subtract the numbers in the tens column from the top number:
0-0=0
| Place value | millions | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | |
| - | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | ||
| 0 | 0 |
Subtract the numbers in the hundreds column from the top number:
1-1=0
| Place value | millions | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | |
| - | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | ||
| 0 | 0 | 0 |
Subtract the numbers in the thousands column from the top number:
1-0=1
| Place value | millions | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | |
| - | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | ||
| 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Because the upper digit (0) in the ten thousands column is too small to get a positive difference, borrow 1 from the digit (1) in the next number place which becomes (0) and get (10).
| Place value | millions | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 0 | 10 | ||||||
| 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | |
| - | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | ||
| 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Subtract the numbers in the ten thousands column from the top number:
10-1=9
| Place value | millions | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 0 | 10 | ||||||
| 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | |
| - | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | ||
| 9 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Write 0 in the hundred thousands place.
| Place value | millions | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 0 | 10 | ||||||
| 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | |
| - | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | ||
| 0 | 9 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Write 1 in the millions place.
| Place value | millions | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 0 | 10 | ||||||
| 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | |
| - | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | ||
| 1 | 0 | 9 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
The solution is: 1,091,000
