What is 995,004 − 7,350?

Answer

995,004 − 7,350 =

987,654

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

Ones: 4 − 0 = 4 — write 4.
Tens: 0 is less than 5 — borrow 1 thousand across the zero: thousands 5 → 4, hundreds 0 → 9; 10 − 5 = 5 — write 5.
Hundreds: after borrowing, 9; 9 − 3 = 6 — write 6.
Thousands: after borrowing, 4; 4 is less than 7 — borrow 1 ten thousand: ten thousands 9 → 8; 14 − 7 = 7 — write 7.
Ten thousands: after borrowing, 8; nothing to subtract — write 8.
Hundred thousands: nothing to subtract — write 9.

995,004 − 7,350 = 987,654

Add the difference and the subtrahend: 987,654 + 7,350 = 995,004. Getting the minuend back means the difference is right.

3 borrows: each time the top digit was smaller than the one below it, 1 was borrowed from the column on the left.

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.
