Solution - Long subtraction
10,108
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
| Place value | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 1 | 4 | 3 | 0 | 0 | |
| - | 4 | 1 | 9 | 2 | |
2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method
Because the upper digit (0) in the ones column is too small to get a positive difference, borrow 1 from the number to the left (30) which becomes (29) and get (10).
| Place value | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 2 | 9 | 10 | |||
| 1 | 4 | 3 | 0 | 0 | |
| - | 4 | 1 | 9 | 2 | |
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
10-2=8
| Place value | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 2 | 9 | 10 | |||
| 1 | 4 | 3 | 0 | 0 | |
| - | 4 | 1 | 9 | 2 | |
| 8 |
Subtract the numbers in the tens column from the top number:
9-9=0
| Place value | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 2 | 9 | 10 | |||
| 1 | 4 | 3 | 0 | 0 | |
| - | 4 | 1 | 9 | 2 | |
| 0 | 8 |
Subtract the numbers in the hundreds column from the top number:
2-1=1
| Place value | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 2 | 9 | 10 | |||
| 1 | 4 | 3 | 0 | 0 | |
| - | 4 | 1 | 9 | 2 | |
| 1 | 0 | 8 |
Subtract the numbers in the thousands column from the top number:
4-4=0
| Place value | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 2 | 9 | 10 | |||
| 1 | 4 | 3 | 0 | 0 | |
| - | 4 | 1 | 9 | 2 | |
| 0 | 1 | 0 | 8 |
Write 1 in the ten thousands place.
| Place value | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 2 | 9 | 10 | |||
| 1 | 4 | 3 | 0 | 0 | |
| - | 4 | 1 | 9 | 2 | |
