    What is 5,000 − 47?

    Answer

    5,000 − 47 =
    4,953

    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 − 47 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.

    5(was 5, now 4)0(was 0, now 9)0(was 0, now 9)0 (was 0, now 10)
    −47
    4953

    Column by column: 5,000 − 47

    • Ones: 0 is less than 7 — borrow 1 thousand across the zero: thousands 5 → 4, hundreds 0 → 9, tens 0 → 9; 10 − 7 = 3 — write 3.
    • Tens: after borrowing, 9; 9 − 4 = 5 — write 5.
    • Hundreds: after borrowing, 9; nothing to subtract — write 9.
    • Thousands: after borrowing, 4; nothing to subtract — write 4.

    5,000 − 47 = 4,953

    Second check: 5,000 − 4,953 = 47

    FAQ

    What is 5,000 − 47?

    5,000 − 47 = 4,953

    How do you check that 5,000 − 47 = 4,953?

    Add the difference and the subtrahend: 4,953 + 47 = 5,000. Getting the minuend back means the difference is right.

    How many times do you borrow in 5,000 − 47?

    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 5,000 − 47?

    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.
