4 Digit Subtraction with Regrouping – Question 1
Subtract the following:
Explanation
If we want to Subtract the digits at ones place, we have
6 – 7
But 7 is greater than 6
We would need to borrow 1 from 5 in tens place
6 in ones place would now become 16 and 5 in tens place would be reduced to 4
So, 16 – 7 = 9
Subtracting the digits at tens place
4 – 4 = 0
Subtracting the digits at hundreds place
5 – 2 = 3
Subtracting the digits at thousands place
7 – 3 = 4
Hence, the difference is 4309
4 Digit Subtraction with Regrouping – Question 2
Subtract the following:
Explanation
If we want to Subtract the digits at ones place, we have
5 – 8
But 8 is greater than 5
We would need to borrow 1 from 7 in tens place
5 in ones place would now become 15 and 7 in tens place would be reduced to 6
So, 15 – 8 = 7
Subtracting the digits at tens place
6 – 4 = 2
Subtracting the digits at hundreds place
4 – 4 = 0
Subtracting the digits at thousands place
9 – 7 = 2
Hence, the difference is 2027
