larger numbers at top and the smaller numbers below them according to
the place values of the digits. Start subtraction from the ones place, then

move tens, hundreds and so on taking borrow from the higher places if
required.

For a subtraction fact,

Minuend – Subtrahend = Difference

There are two related facts:

Minuend – Difference = Subtrahend

and Subtrahend + Difference = Minuend

Example 3: Subtract 46853297 from 78546924.

Solution: 14 11

7 4 14 8 1 14

7 8 5 4 6 9 2 4 → Minuend

– 4 6 8 5 3 2 9 7 → Subtrahend

3 1 6 9 3 6 2 7 → Difference

Check:

1 1 1 1

Subtrahend → 4 6 8 5 3 2 9 7

Difference → + 3 1 6 9 3 6 2 7

Minuend → 7 8 5 4 6 9 2 4

Example 4: Fill in the missing digit. 7 2 9 6 3 8

7 2 6 3 – 2 0 5 4 2 3

– 2 5 2 3 5 2 4 2 1 5

2 4 2 5

Solution: At O, 8 – 3 = 5; T, 3 – 2 = 1 ; H, 6 – 4 = 2;

Th, 9 – 5 = 4; T-Th, 2 – 0 = 2; L, 7 – 2 = 5
