Solution - Long subtraction
6,304
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 6 | 4 | 1 | 6 | |
| 3 | 2 | |||
| - | 8 | 0 | ||
2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
6-2-0=4
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 6 | 4 | 1 | 6 | |
| 3 | 2 | |||
| - | 8 | 0 | ||
| 4 |
Because the upper digit (1) in the tens 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 (11).
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 3 | 11 | |||
| 6 | 4 | 1 | 6 | |
| 3 | 2 | |||
| - | 8 | 0 | ||
| 4 |
Subtract the numbers in the tens column from the top number:
11-3-8=0
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 3 | 11 | |||
| 6 | 4 | 1 | 6 | |
| 3 | 2 | |||
| - | 8 | 0 | ||
| 0 | 4 |
Write 3 in the hundreds place.
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 3 | 11 | |||
| 6 | 4 | 1 | 6 | |
| 3 | 2 | |||
| - | 8 | 0 | ||
| 3 | 0 | 4 |
Write 6 in the thousands place.
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 3 | 11 | |||
| 6 | 4 | 1 | 6 | |
| 3 | 2 | |||
| - | 8 | 0 | ||
| 6 | 3 | 0 | 4 |
The solution is: 6,304
