Solution - Long subtraction
1,965
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
| - | 1 | 0 | 3 | 5 |
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 (300) which becomes (299) and get (10).
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 2 | 9 | 9 | 10 | |
| 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
| - | 1 | 0 | 3 | 5 |
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
10-5=5
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 2 | 9 | 9 | 10 | |
| 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
| - | 1 | 0 | 3 | 5 |
| 5 |
Subtract the numbers in the tens column from the top number:
9-3=6
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 2 | 9 | 9 | 10 | |
| 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
| - | 1 | 0 | 3 | 5 |
| 6 | 5 |
Subtract the numbers in the hundreds column from the top number:
9-0=9
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 2 | 9 | 9 | 10 | |
| 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
| - | 1 | 0 | 3 | 5 |
| 9 | 6 | 5 |
Subtract the numbers in the thousands column from the top number:
2-1=1
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 2 | 9 | 9 | 10 | |
| 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
| - | 1 | 0 | 3 | 5 |
| 1 | 9 | 6 | 5 |
The solution is: 1,965
