3-Digit Subtraction without Regrouping
In 1st grade, we have learnt the subtraction of 1-digit and 2-digit numbers. Here, we will learn simple subtraction of 3-digit numbers without regrouping (borrowing).
We subtract 3-digit numbers in the same way as we subtract 2-digit numbers.
Let us subtract 345 from 689.
To perform the above subtraction, we take the following steps:
|
Step I: Write the given numbers in column form as shown. Step II: Subtract the ones: 9 - 5 = 4 Write 4 under ones column. Step III: Subtract the ten 8 - 4 = 4 Write 4 under tens column. Step IV: Subtract the hundreds: 6 - 3 = 3 Write 3 under hundreds column. |
|
Thus, the difference between 689 and 345 is 344.
