FAQ

What is 41 + 12?

41 + 12 = 53

How do you check that 41 + 12 = 53?

Subtract one addend from the sum: 53 − 12 = 41, and 53 − 41 = 12. Getting the other addend back means the sum is right.

How many carries are there in 41 + 12?

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

Is 12 + 41 the same as 41 + 12?

Yes. Addition is commutative, so both give 53; the column looks the same with either number on top.
