    What is 990,122 − 2,468?

    Answer

    990,122 − 2,468 =
    987,654

    With regrouping across a zero: 4 borrows — there are no thousands to borrow from, so 1 ten thousand becomes 10 thousands, and 1 thousand goes to the hundreds

    990,122 − 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: 990,122 − 2,468

    • Ones: 2 is less than 8 — borrow 1 ten: tens 2 → 1; 12 − 8 = 4 — write 4.
    • Tens: after borrowing, 1; 1 is less than 6 — borrow 1 hundred: hundreds 1 → 0; 11 − 6 = 5 — write 5.
    • Hundreds: after borrowing, 0; 0 is less than 4 — borrow 1 ten thousand across the zero: ten thousands 9 → 8, thousands 0 → 9; 10 − 4 = 6 — write 6.
    • Thousands: after borrowing, 9; 9 − 2 = 7 — write 7.
    • Ten thousands: after borrowing, 8; nothing to subtract — write 8.
    • Hundred thousands: nothing to subtract — write 9.

    990,122 − 2,468 = 987,654

    Second check: 990,122 − 987,654 = 2,468

    How do you check that 990,122 − 2,468 = 987,654?

    Add the difference and the subtrahend: 987,654 + 2,468 = 990,122. Getting the minuend back means the difference is right.

    How many times do you borrow in 990,122 − 2,468?

    4 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 990,122 − 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.
