Subtraction without Regrouping

We will learn subtracting 4-digit, 5-digit and 6-digit numbers without regrouping.

We first arrange the numbers one below the other in place value columns and then subtract the digits under each column as shown in the following examples.

1. Subtract 3248 from 6589.

Solution:

Step I: Arrange the numbers vertically.

Step II: Subtract ones. 9 – 8 = 1 one. Write 1 in ones column.

Step III: Subtract the tens. 8 – 4 = 4 tens.. Write 4 in tens column.
