Solution - Long subtraction
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
Place value | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 5 | 0 | |
- | 2 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
0-0=0
Place value | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 5 | 0 | |
- | 2 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
0 |
Subtract the numbers in the tens column from the top number:
5-0=5
Place value | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 5 | 0 | |
- | 2 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
5 | 0 |
Subtract the numbers in the hundreds column from the top number:
2-0=2
Place value | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 5 | 0 | |
- | 2 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
2 | 5 | 0 |
Because the upper digit (2) in the 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 (12).
Place value | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
0 | 12 | |||||
1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 5 | 0 | |
- | 2 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
2 | 5 | 0 |
Subtract the numbers in the thousands column from the top number:
12-4=8
Place value | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
0 | 12 | |||||
1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 5 | 0 | |
- | 2 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
8 | 2 | 5 | 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 | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
0 | 10 | |||||
0 | 12 | |||||
1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 5 | 0 | |
- | 2 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
8 | 2 | 5 | 0 |
Subtract the numbers in the ten thousands column from the top number:
10-2=8
Place value | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
0 | 10 | |||||
0 | 12 | |||||
1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 5 | 0 | |
- | 2 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
8 | 8 | 2 | 5 | 0 |
Write 0 in the hundred thousands place.
Place value | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
0 | 10 | |||||
0 | 12 | |||||
1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 5 | 0 | |
- | 2 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
0 | 8 | 8 | 2 | 5 | 0 |
The solution is: 88,250
