What is 1,000 − 36?

Answer

1,000 − 36 =
964

With regrouping across a zero: 3 borrows — there are no hundreds or tens to borrow from, so 1 thousand becomes 10 hundreds, and 1 ten goes to the ones

1,000 − 36 in a column. Above the columns: the values after borrowing — a crossed-out digit is replaced by the number above it; +10 marks a column that received a borrowed ten.

Column by column: 1,000 − 36

  • Ones: 0 is less than 6 — borrow 1 thousand across the zero: thousands 1 → 0, hundreds 0 → 9, tens 0 → 9; 10 − 6 = 4 — write 4.
  • Tens: after borrowing, 9; 9 − 3 = 6 — write 6.
  • Hundreds: after borrowing, 9; nothing to subtract — write 9.
  • Thousands: after borrowing, 0 — a leading zero is not written.

1,000 − 36 = 964

Second check: 1,000 − 964 = 36

FAQ

What is 1,000 − 36?

1,000 − 36 = 964

How do you check that 1,000 − 36 = 964?

Add the difference and the subtrahend: 964 + 36 = 1,000. Getting the minuend back means the difference is right.

How many times do you borrow in 1,000 − 36?

3 borrows: each time the top digit was smaller than the one below it, 1 was borrowed from the column on the left.

Why does 0 become 9 when borrowing in 1,000 − 36?

The zero has nothing to lend, so it first borrows 1 from its left neighbour and becomes 10; then it lends 1 to the column on its right and keeps 9.
