What is 5,000 − 348?

Answer

5,000 − 348 =
4,652

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

5,000 − 348 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: 5,000 − 348

  • Ones: 0 is less than 8 — borrow 1 thousand across the zero: thousands 5 → 4, hundreds 0 → 9, tens 0 → 9; 10 − 8 = 2 — write 2.
  • Tens: after borrowing, 9; 9 − 4 = 5 — write 5.
  • Hundreds: after borrowing, 9; 9 − 3 = 6 — write 6.
  • Thousands: after borrowing, 4; nothing to subtract — write 4.

5,000 − 348 = 4,652

Second check: 5,000 − 4,652 = 348
