FAQ

What is 172 + 12?

172 + 12 = 184

How do you check that 172 + 12 = 184?

Subtract one addend from the sum: 184 − 12 = 172, and 184 − 172 = 12. Getting the other addend back means the sum is right.

How many carries are there in 172 + 12?

None: no column adds up to 10 or more, so every digit of the sum is written straight away.

Is 12 + 172 the same as 172 + 12?

Yes. Addition is commutative, so both give 184; the column looks the same with either number on top.
