    What is 6,047 − 2,468?

    Answer

    6,047 − 2,468 =
    3,579

    With regrouping across a zero: 3 borrows — there are no hundreds to borrow from, so 1 thousand becomes 10 hundreds, and 1 hundred goes to the tens

    6,047 − 2,468 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: 6,047 − 2,468

    • Ones: 7 is less than 8 — borrow 1 ten: tens 4 → 3; 17 − 8 = 9 — write 9.
    • Tens: after borrowing, 3; 3 is less than 6 — borrow 1 thousand across the zero: thousands 6 → 5, hundreds 0 → 9; 13 − 6 = 7 — write 7.
    • Hundreds: after borrowing, 9; 9 − 4 = 5 — write 5.
    • Thousands: after borrowing, 5; 5 − 2 = 3 — write 3.

    6,047 − 2,468 = 3,579

    Second check: 6,047 − 3,579 = 2,468

    FAQ

    What is 6,047 − 2,468?

    6,047 − 2,468 = 3,579

    How do you check that 6,047 − 2,468 = 3,579?

    Add the difference and the subtrahend: 3,579 + 2,468 = 6,047. Getting the minuend back means the difference is right.

    How many times do you borrow in 6,047 − 2,468?

    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 6,047 − 2,468?

    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.
