Grade 5 subtraction worksheet for practicing subtracting large numbers in columns.

Let’s solve each subtraction problem step by step. We’ll subtract the bottom number from the top number in each pair, making sure to line up the digits correctly (ones under ones, tens under tens, etc.). If we need to borrow, we’ll do that carefully.

Problem 1:
```
57,644,196
- 49,732,152
____________
```

Start from the right:

- 6 - 2 = 4
- 9 - 5 = 4
- 1 - 1 = 0
- 4 - 2 = 2
- 4 - 3 = 1
- 6 - 7 → can’t do! Borrow from 7 (which becomes 6), so 16 - 7 = 9
- Now 6 (was 7) - 9 → can’t do! Borrow from 5 (becomes 4), so 16 - 9 = 7
- Finally, 4 (was 5) - 4 = 0 → but we don’t write leading zero

So: 7,912,044

Wait — let me double-check with another method:

57,644,196
-49,732,152
= ?

Do it digit by digit again:

Millions place: 57 - 49 = 8? But wait, we have borrowing...

Actually, better to compute directly:

57,644,196
-49,732,152
= (57,644,196 - 49,000,000) = 8,644,196
Then subtract 732,152:
8,644,196 - 732,152 = ?

8,644,196
- 732,152
= 7,912,044 ✔

Problem 2:
```
858,074
- 674,720
__________
```

Right to left:

4 - 0 = 4
7 - 2 = 5
0 - 7 → borrow! 10 - 7 = 3, and the 8 becomes 7
7 (was 8) - 4 = 3
5 - 7 → borrow! 15 - 7 = 8, and 8 becomes 7
7 (was 8) - 6 = 1

So: 183,354

Check:
858,074 - 674,720
= (858,074 - 600,000) = 258,074
258,074 - 74,720 = 183,354 ✔

Problem 3:
```
7,833,285
- 850,909
___________
```

Align:

7,833,285
- 850,909
= ?

Start from right:

5 - 9 → borrow → 15 - 9 = 6, 8 becomes 7
7 (was 8) - 0 = 7
2 - 9 → borrow → 12 - 9 = 3, 3 becomes 2
2 (was 3) - 0 = 2
3 - 5 → borrow → 13 - 5 = 8, 8 becomes 7
7 (was 8) - 8 → borrow → 17 - 8 = 9, 7 becomes 6
6 - 0 = 6

So: 6,982,376

Check:
7,833,285 - 850,909
= 7,833,285 - 800,000 = 7,033,285
7,033,285 - 50,909 = 6,982,376 ✔

---

Problem 4:
```
22,647
- 17,906
_________
```

7 - 6 = 1
4 - 0 = 4
6 - 9 → borrow → 16 - 9 = 7, 2 becomes 1
1 (was 2) - 7 → borrow → 11 - 7 = 4, 2 becomes 1
1 (was 2) - 1 = 0 → skip leading zero

So: 4,741

Check:
22,647 - 17,906 = 4,741 ✔

---

Problem 5:
```
6,134,175
- 624,228
___________
```

5 - 8 → borrow → 15 - 8 = 7, 7 becomes 6
6 (was 7) - 2 = 4
1 - 2 → borrow → 11 - 2 = 9, 4 becomes 3
3 (was 4) - 4 → borrow → 13 - 4 = 9, 3 becomes 2
2 (was 3) - 2 = 0
1 - 6 → borrow → 11 - 6 = 5, 6 becomes 5
5 - 0 = 5

So: 5,509,947

Check:
6,134,175 - 624,228
= 6,134,175 - 600,000 = 5,534,175
5,534,175 - 24,228 = 5,509,947 ✔

Problem 6:
```
94,101,219
- 39,009,017
____________
```

9 - 7 = 2
1 - 1 = 0
2 - 0 = 2
1 - 9 → borrow → 11 - 9 = 2, 0 becomes 9 (but 0 was borrowed from 1, which becomes 0, then borrow from 4...)

Better to go step by step:

Write it aligned:

94,101,219
- 39,009,017
= ?

From right:

9 - 7 = 2
1 - 1 = 0
2 - 0 = 2
1 - 9 → borrow from next digit. Next is 0 → so borrow from 1 (hundred thousands). That 1 becomes 0, and the 0 becomes 10, then lend to tens place → so tens place gets 11.

So: 11 - 9 = 2
Now hundred thousands: was 1, became 0 after lending → now 0 - 0 = 0
Ten millions: 4 - 9 → borrow from 9 → 14 - 9 = 5, 9 becomes 8
8 - 3 = 5

So: 55,092,202

Check:
94,101,219 - 39,009,017
= (94,101,219 - 39,000,000) = 55,101,219
55,101,219 - 9,017 = 55,092,202 ✔

Problem 7:
```
334,084
- 81,100
_________
```

4 - 0 = 4
8 - 0 = 8
0 - 1 → borrow → 10 - 1 = 9, 4 becomes 3
3 (was 4) - 1 = 2
3 - 8 → borrow → 13 - 8 = 5, 3 becomes 2
2 - 0 = 2

So: 252,984

Check:
334,084 - 81,100 = 252,984 ✔

Problem 8:
```
95,561,655
- 64,142
____________
```

Align:

95,561,655
- 64,142
= ?

Subtract only last 6 digits:

655 - 142 = 513
Then 561 - 064 = 497? Wait, need to align properly.

Actually:

Write as:

95,561,655
- 64,142
= 95,497,513

Because:

Start from right:

5 - 2 = 3
5 - 4 = 1
6 - 1 = 5
1 - 4 → borrow → 11 - 4 = 7, 6 becomes 5
5 (was 6) - 6 → borrow → 15 - 6 = 9, 5 becomes 4
4 (was 5) - 0 = 4
Then 95 million remains.

So: 95,497,513

Check:
95,561,655 - 64,142 = 95,497,513 ✔

Problem 9:
```
81,835,443
- 4,916,527
____________
```

3 - 7 → borrow → 13 - 7 = 6, 4 becomes 3
3 (was 4) - 2 = 1
4 - 5 → borrow → 14 - 5 = 9, 5 becomes 4
4 (was 5) - 6 → borrow → 14 - 6 = 8, 3 becomes 2
2 (was 3) - 1 = 1
8 - 9 → borrow → 18 - 9 = 9, 1 becomes 0
0 (was 1) - 4 → borrow → 10 - 4 = 6, 8 becomes 7
7 - 0 = 7

So: 76,918,916

Check:
81,835,443 - 4,916,527
= 81,835,443 - 4,000,000 = 77,835,443
77,835,443 - 916,527 = 76,918,916 ✔

Problem 10:
```
26,031,139
- 81,399
____________
```

Align:

26,031,139
- 81,399
= ?

Last 6 digits: 031,139 - 081,399 → need to borrow from millions.

So:

Think of it as:

26,031,139 = 25,000,000 + 1,031,139
But easier to subtract directly:

Start from right:

9 - 9 = 0
3 - 9 → borrow → 13 - 9 = 4, 1 becomes 0
0 (was 1) - 3 → borrow → 10 - 3 = 7, 1 becomes 0
0 (was 1) - 1 → borrow → 10 - 1 = 9, 3 becomes 2
2 (was 3) - 8 → borrow → 12 - 8 = 4, 0 becomes 9 (after borrowing from 6)
9 (was 0, but borrowed from 6) - 0 = 9? Wait, let's track:

Original: 26,031,139
Minus: 81,399

Breakdown:

Units: 9 - 9 = 0
Tens: 3 - 9 → borrow → 13 - 9 = 4, hundreds digit (1) becomes 0
Hundreds: 0 (was 1) - 3 → borrow → 10 - 3 = 7, thousands digit (1) becomes 0
Thousands: 0 (was 1) - 1 → borrow → 10 - 1 = 9, ten-thousands digit (3) becomes 2
Ten-thousands: 2 (was 3) - 8 → borrow → 12 - 8 = 4, hundred-thousands digit (0) becomes 9 (after borrowing from millions)
Hundred-thousands: 9 (was 0, borrowed from 6) - 0 = 9
Millions: 5 (was 6, lent 1) - 0 = 5
Ten-millions: 2 - 0 = 2

Wait — actually, since we’re subtracting only 81,399, which is less than 100,000, we affect only the last 6 digits.

So:

26,031,139
- 81,399
= 25,949,740

Let me verify:

Add back: 25,949,740 + 81,399 = ?

740 + 399 = 1,139 → carry 1
949 + 81 + 1 = 1,031 → so 25,000,000 + 1,031,139 = 26,031,139 ✔

So answer is 25,949,740
