What is 1,059 − 376?

Answer

1,059 − 376 =
683

With regrouping across a zero: 2 borrows — there are no hundreds to borrow from, so 1 thousand becomes 10 hundreds, and 1 hundred goes to the tens

1,059 − 376 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: 1,059 − 376

  • Ones: 9 − 6 = 3 — write 3.
  • Tens: 5 is less than 7 — borrow 1 thousand across the zero: thousands 1 → 0, hundreds 0 → 9; 15 − 7 = 8 — write 8.
  • Hundreds: after borrowing, 9; 9 − 3 = 6 — write 6.
  • Thousands: after borrowing, 0 — a leading zero is not written.

1,059 − 376 = 683

Second check: 1,059 − 683 = 376

2 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 1,059 − 376?

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.
