115,401 − 45,089 =

Column by column: 115,401 − 45,089

  • Ones: 1 is less than 9 — borrow 1 hundred across the zero: hundreds 4 → 3, tens 0 → 9; 11 − 9 = 2 — write 2.
  • Tens: after borrowing, 9; 9 − 8 = 1 — write 1.
  • Hundreds: after borrowing, 3; 3 − 0 = 3 — write 3.
  • Thousands: 5 − 5 = 0 — write 0.
  • Ten thousands: 1 is less than 4 — borrow 1 hundred thousand: hundred thousands 1 → 0; 11 − 4 = 7 — write 7.
  • Hundred thousands: after borrowing, 0 — a leading zero is not written.

115,401 − 45,089 = 70,312

How many times do you borrow in 115,401 − 45,089?

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 115,401 − 45,089?

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.
