Solution - Long subtraction
1,703
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 1 | 7 | 1 | 1 | |
| 1 | ||||
| - | 7 | |||
2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method
Because the upper digit (1) 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 (11).
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 0 | 11 | |||
| 1 | 7 | 1 | 1 | |
| 1 | ||||
| - | 7 | |||
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
11-1-7=3
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 0 | 11 | |||
| 1 | 7 | 1 | 1 | |
| 1 | ||||
| - | 7 | |||
| 3 |
Write 0 in the tens place.
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 0 | 11 | |||
| 1 | 7 | 1 | 1 | |
| 1 | ||||
| - | 7 | |||
| 0 | 3 |
Write 7 in the hundreds place.
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 0 | 11 | |||
| 1 | 7 | 1 | 1 | |
| 1 | ||||
| - | 7 | |||
| 7 | 0 | 3 |

| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 0 | 11 | |||
| 1 | 7 | 1 | 1 | |
