What is 401 − 94?

Answer

401 − 94 =
307

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

401 − 94 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: 401 − 94

  • Ones: 1 is less than 4 — borrow 1 hundred across the zero: hundreds 4 → 3, tens 0 → 9; 11 − 4 = 7 — write 7.
  • Tens: after borrowing, 9; 9 − 9 = 0 — write 0.
  • Hundreds: after borrowing, 3; nothing to subtract — write 3.

401 − 94 = 307

Second check: 401 − 307 = 94

Add the difference and the subtrahend: 307 + 94 = 401. Getting the minuend back means the difference is right.

How many times do you borrow in 401 − 94?

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 401 − 94?

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.
