Solution - Long subtraction
266
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 1 | 3 | 1 | 3 | |
| - | 1 | 0 | 4 | 7 |
2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method
Because the upper digit (3) in the ones 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 (13).
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 0 | 13 | |||
| 1 | 3 | 1 | 3 | |
| - | 1 | 0 | 4 | 7 |
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
13-7=6
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 0 | 13 | |||
| 1 | 3 | 1 | 3 | |
| - | 1 | 0 | 4 | 7 |
| 6 |
Because the upper digit (0) in the tens column is too small to get a positive difference, borrow 1 from the digit (3) in the next number place which becomes (2) and get (10).
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 2 | 10 | |||
| 0 | 13 | |||
| 1 | 3 | 1 | 3 | |
| - | 1 | 0 | 4 | 7 |
| 6 |
Subtract the numbers in the tens column from the top number:
10-4=6
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 2 | 10 | |||
| 0 | 13 | |||
| 1 | 3 | 1 | 3 | |
| - | 1 | 0 | 4 | 7 |
| 6 | 6 |
Subtract the numbers in the hundreds column from the top number:
2-0=2
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 2 | 10 | |||
| 0 | 13 | |||
| 1 | 3 | 1 | 3 | |
| - | 1 | 0 | 4 | 7 |
| 2 | 6 | 6 |
Subtract the numbers in the thousands column from the top number:
1-1=0
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 2 | 10 | |||
| 0 | 13 | |||
| 1 | 3 | 1 | 3 | |
| - | 1 | 0 | 4 | 7 |
| 0 | 2 | 6 | 6 |
The solution is: 266
