Adding and Subtracting Large Decimals

Here we will learn adding and subtracting large decimals.

We have already learnt how to add and subtract smaller decimals. Now we will consider some examples involving larger decimals.


1. Add the following decimals:

(i) 5189.581 and 3289.793

(ii) 663987.98 and 22987.38


Solution:

We arrange the decimals in such a way so that the decimal points lie in the same column.

(i) Add: 5189.581 and 3289.793

 = 5189.581 + 3289.793 

          5 1 8 9 . 5 8 1

       + 3 2 8 9 . 7 9 3

          8 4 7 9 . 3 7 4


Answer: 8479.374


(ii) Add: 663987.98 and 22987.38

  = 66398.98 + 22987.38

          6 6 3 9 8 . 9 8

       + 2 2 9 8 7 . 3 8

           8 9 3 8 6 . 3 6


Answer: 89386.36

2. Subtract the following.

(i) 4368.932 from 9614.596.

(ii) 23438.56 from 41249.82.

Solution:

We arrange the decimals properly and subtract as usual.

          9 6 1 4 . 5 9 6

        - 4 3 6 8 . 9 3 2

          5 2 4 5 . 6 6 4


Answer: 5245.664
