Addition of 5-Digit Numbers

We will learn about the addition of 5-digit numbers (without carrying and with carrying).

We know how to add 2 or 3, 4-digit numbers without carrying or with carrying. Now we will apply the same method while adding two 5-digit numbers (without carrying and with carrying) and three 5-digit numbers (without carrying and with carrying). Arrange the numbers in columns and then add ones, then tens, then hundreds, the thousands, finally ten thousands.

Consider some of the examples.

1. Add 12347 and 46152 without carrying

Adding ones

      TTh    Th     H     T     O

        1       2      3     4     7

+      4       6      1     5     2

                                      9

Adding tens

      TTh    Th     H     T     O

        1       2      3     4     7

+      4       6      1     5     2

                               9     9

Adding hundreds

      TTh    Th     H     T     O

        1       2      3     4     7

+      4       6      1     5     2

                         4     9     9

Adding thousands

      TTh    Th     H     T     O

        1       2      3     4     7

+      4       6      1     5     2

                8       4     9     9

Adding ten thousands

      TTh    Th     H     T     O

        1       2      3     4     7

+      4       6      1     5     2

        5       8      4     9     9

2. Add 28743 and 34978 with carrying.

3. Find the sum of 38426 and 41270 without carrying.

Steps

Arrange the digits of the addends in columns.

I. Add ones II. Add tens III. Add hundreds IV. Add thousands V. Add ten thousands

6 + 0 = 6 2 + 7 = 9 4 + 2 = 6 8 + 1 = 9 3 + 4 = 7

The sum of 38426 and 41270 is 79696

1. Find the sum of 31452, 68913 and 25438

Steps I. Add ones. 2 + 3 + 8 = 13 ones = 1 ten 3 ones. Write 3 under ones, carry 1 to tens place. II. Add tens. 1 (carry up) + 5 + 1 + 3 = 10 tens = 1 hundred 0 tens. Write 0 under tens, carry 1 to hundreds place. III. Add hundreds. 1 (carry up) + 4 + 9 + 4 = 18 hundreds = 1 thousand 8 hundreds. Write 8 under hundreds, carry 1 to thousands place. IV. Add thousands. 1 (carry up) + 1 + 8 + 5 = 15 thousands = 1 ten thousand 5 thousands. Write 5 under thousands, carry 1 to ten thousand place. V. Add ten thousands. 1 (carry up) + 3 + 6 + 2 = 12. Write 12 under ten thousands.

Therefore, the sum of 31452, 68913 and 25438 is 125803.
