Solution - Long subtraction
3,731
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 4 | 3 | 5 | 6 | |
| - | 6 | 2 | 5 | |
2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
6-5=1
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 4 | 3 | 5 | 6 | |
| - | 6 | 2 | 5 | |
| 1 |
Subtract the numbers in the tens column from the top number:
5-2=3
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 4 | 3 | 5 | 6 | |
| - | 6 | 2 | 5 | |
| 3 | 1 |
Because the upper digit (3) in the hundreds column is too small to get a positive difference, borrow 1 from the digit (4) in the next number place which becomes (3) and get (13).
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 3 | 13 | |||
| 4 | 3 | 5 | 6 | |
| - | 6 | 2 | 5 | |
| 3 | 1 |
Subtract the numbers in the hundreds column from the top number:
13-6=7
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 3 | 13 | |||
| 4 | 3 | 5 | 6 | |
| - | 6 | 2 | 5 | |
| 7 | 3 | 1 |
Write 3 in the thousands place.
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 3 | 13 | |||
| 4 | 3 | 5 | 6 | |
| - | 6 | 2 | 5 | |
| 3 | 7 | 3 | 1 |
The solution is: 3,731
