What is 504 − 19?

Answer

504 − 19 =
485

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

504 − 19 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: 504 − 19

  • Ones: 4 is less than 9 — borrow 1 hundred across the zero: hundreds 5 → 4, tens 0 → 9; 14 − 9 = 5 — write 5.
  • Tens: after borrowing, 9; 9 − 1 = 8 — write 8.
  • Hundreds: after borrowing, 4; nothing to subtract — write 4.

504 − 19 = 485

Second check: 504 − 485 = 19

504 − 19 = 485

How do you check that 504 − 19 = 485?

Add the difference and the subtrahend: 485 + 19 = 504. Getting the minuend back means the difference is right.

How many times do you borrow in 504 − 19?

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 504 − 19?

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.
