Solution - Long subtraction
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
| Place value | millions | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 5 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 6 | 7 | 0 | |
| - | 5 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 8 | 1 |
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 digit (7) in the next number place which becomes (6) and get (10).
| Place value | millions | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 6 | 10 | ||||||
| 5 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 6 | 7 | 0 | |
| - | 5 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 8 | 1 |
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
10-1=9
| Place value | millions | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 6 | 10 | ||||||
| 5 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 6 | 7 | 0 | |
| - | 5 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 8 | 1 |
| 9 |
Because the upper digit (6) in the tens column is too small to get a positive difference, borrow 1 from the digit (6) in the next number place which becomes (5) and get (16).
| Place value | millions | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 5 | 16 | ||||||
| 6 | 10 | ||||||
| 5 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 6 | 7 | 0 | |
| - | 5 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 8 | 1 |
| 9 |
Subtract the numbers in the tens column from the top number:
16-8=8
| Place value | millions | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 5 | 16 | ||||||
| 6 | 10 | ||||||
| 5 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 6 | 7 | 0 | |
| - | 5 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 8 | 1 |
| 8 | 9 |
Subtract the numbers in the hundreds column from the top number:
5-0=5
| Place value | millions | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 5 | 16 | ||||||
| 6 | 10 | ||||||
| 5 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 6 | 7 | 0 | |
| - | 5 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 8 | 1 |
| 5 | 8 | 9 |
Subtract the numbers in the thousands column from the top number:
2-2=0
| Place value | millions | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 5 | 16 | ||||||
| 6 | 10 | ||||||
| 5 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 6 | 7 | 0 | |
| - | 5 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 8 | 1 |
| 0 | 5 | 8 | 9 |
Because the upper digit (0) in the ten thousands 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 (10).
| Place value | millions | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 0 | 10 | ||||||
| 5 | 16 | ||||||
| 6 | 10 | ||||||
| 5 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 6 | 7 | 0 | |
| - | 5 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 8 | 1 |
| 0 | 5 | 8 | 9 |
Subtract the numbers in the ten thousands column from the top number:
10-2=8
| Place value | millions | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 0 | 10 | ||||||
| 5 | 16 | ||||||
| 6 | 10 | ||||||
| 5 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 6 | 7 | 0 | |
| - | 5 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 8 | 1 |
| 8 | 0 | 5 | 8 | 9 |
Subtract the numbers in the hundred thousands column from the top number:
0-0=0
| Place value | millions | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 0 | 10 | ||||||
| 5 | 16 | ||||||
| 6 | 10 | ||||||
| 5 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 6 | 7 | 0 | |
| - | 5 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 8 | 1 |
| 0 | 8 | 0 | 5 | 8 | 9 |
Subtract the numbers in the millions column from the top number:
5-5=0
| Place value | millions | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 0 | 10 | ||||||
| 5 | 16 | ||||||
| 6 | 10 | ||||||
| 5 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 6 | 7 | 0 | |
| - | 5 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 8 | 1 |
| 0 | 0 | 8 | 0 | 5 | 8 | 9 |
The solution is: 80,589
