What is 1,004 − 485?

| 0 | 9 | 9 | +10 | |
| 4 (was 4, now 14) | ||||
| − | 4 | 8 | 5 | |
| 5 | 1 | 9 |
Column by column: 1,004 − 485
- Ones: 4 is less than 5 — borrow 1 thousand across the zero: thousands 1 → 0, hundreds 0 → 9, tens 0 → 9; 14 − 5 = 9 — write 9.
- Tens: after borrowing, 9; 9 − 8 = 1 — write 1.
- Hundreds: after borrowing, 9; 9 − 4 = 5 — write 5.
- Thousands: after borrowing, 0 — a leading zero is not written.
1,004 − 485 = 519
Second check: 1,004 − 519 = 485
