FAQ

What is 71 + 12?

71 + 12 = 83

How do you check that 71 + 12 = 83?

Subtract one addend from the sum: 83 − 12 = 71, and 83 − 71 = 12. Getting the other addend back means the sum is right.

How many carries are there in 71 + 12?

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

Is 12 + 71 the same as 71 + 12?

Yes. Addition is commutative, so both give 83; the column looks the same with either number on top.
