576
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
1 | 6 | 0 | 0 | |
- | 1 | 0 | 2 | 4 |
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 (60) which becomes (59) and get (10).
Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
5 | 9 | 10 | ||
1 | 6 | 0 | 0 | |
- | 1 | 0 | 2 | 4 |
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
10-4=6
Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
5 | 9 | 10 | ||
1 | 6 | 0 | 0 | |
- | 1 | 0 | 2 | 4 |
6 |
Subtract the numbers in the tens column from the top number:
9-2=7
Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
5 | 9 | 10 | ||
1 | 6 | 0 | 0 | |
- | 1 | 0 | 2 | 4 |
7 | 6 |
Subtract the numbers in the hundreds column from the top number:
5-0=5
Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
5 | 9 | 10 | ||
1 | 6 | 0 | 0 | |
- | 1 | 0 | 2 | 4 |
5 | 7 | 6 |
Subtract the numbers in the thousands column from the top number:
1-1=0
Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
5 | 9 | 10 | ||
