Subtraction with Regrouping Calculator
What is 1,000 − 422?
Answer
1,000 − 422 =
578
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
| 0 | 9 | 9 | +10 | |
| 0 (was 0, now 10) | ||||
| − | 4 | 2 | 2 | |
| 5 | 7 | 8 |
Column by column: 1,000 − 422
- Ones: 0 is less than 2 — borrow 1 thousand across the zero: thousands 1 → 0, hundreds 0 → 9, tens 0 → 9; 10 − 2 = 8 — write 8.
- Tens: after borrowing, 9; 9 − 2 = 7 — write 7.
- Hundreds: after borrowing, 9; 9 − 4 = 5 — write 5.
- Thousands: after borrowing, 0 — a leading zero is not written.
1,000 − 422 = 578
Second check: 1,000 − 578 = 422
