Subtracting 5-Digit Numbers from 5-Digit Numbers With Grid Support (A) - Free Printable

Let's solve each subtraction problem on the grid step by step. The task is to subtract the bottom number from the top number in each box, digit by digit, starting from the rightmost digit (units place) and moving left, borrowing when necessary.

```
5 9 0 5 0
- 4 8 3 1 5
----------
```

Starting from the right:
- 0 - 5 → borrow: 10 - 5 = 5, but we need to borrow from the next digit.
- 5 becomes 4, then 10 (after borrowing) - 5 = 5 → wait, let's do it carefully:

Break it down:

```
5 9 0 5 0
- 4 8 3 1 5
-------------
```

Start from the right:
- Units: 0 - 5 → can't do → borrow from tens. But tens digit is 5 → becomes 4, units become 10 → 10 - 5 = 5
- Tens: 4 (after borrow) - 1 = 3
- Hundreds: 0 - 3 → can't do → borrow from thousands. Thousands is 9 → becomes 8, hundreds become 10 → 10 - 3 = 7
- Thousands: 8 (after borrow) - 8 = 0
- Ten-thousands: 5 - 4 = 1

```
9 0 2 0 7
- 4 9 8 2 1
----------
```

Step-by-step:
- Units: 7 - 1 = 6
- Tens: 0 - 2 → can't → borrow from hundreds. Hundreds is 2 → becomes 1, tens become 10 → 10 - 2 = 8
- Hundreds: 1 (after borrow) - 8 → can't → borrow from thousands. Thousands is 0 → need to go to ten-thousands.
- Ten-thousands: 9 → becomes 8, thousands becomes 10 → now borrow for hundreds: thousands becomes 9, hundreds becomes 11 → 11 - 8 = 3
- Thousands: 9 (after borrow) - 9 = 0
- Ten-thousands: 8 - 4 = 4

- Tens: 9 - 0 = 9
- Hundreds: 6 - 6 = 0
- Thousands: 9 - 7 = 2

- Units: 2 - 2 = 0
- Tens: 6 - 6 = 0
- Hundreds: 7 - 1 = 6
- Thousands: 2 - 4 → can't → borrow from 5 → 5 becomes 4, 2 becomes 12 → 12 - 4 = 8
- Ten-thousands: 4 - 3 = 1

Answer: 18600

```
8 7 4 3 9
- 4 9 9 9 3
----------
```

- Units: 9 - 3 = 6
- Tens: 3 - 9 → can't → borrow from 4 → 4 becomes 3, 3 becomes 13 → 13 - 9 = 4
- Hundreds: 3 (after borrow) - 9 → can't → borrow from 7 → 7 becomes 6, 3 becomes 13 → 13 - 9 = 4
- Thousands: 6 (after borrow) - 9 → can't → borrow from 8 → 8 becomes 7, 6 becomes 16 → 16 - 9 = 7
- Ten-thousands: 7 - 4 = 3

6.

```
9 4 9 2 4
- 8 5 6 4 7
----------
```

- Units: 4 - 7 → can't → borrow → 14 - 7 = 7, tens becomes 1 (was 2)
- Tens: 1 - 4 → can't → borrow from hundreds → 9 becomes 8, tens becomes 11 → 11 - 4 = 7
- Hundreds: 8 (after borrow) - 6 = 2
- Thousands: 4 - 5 → can't → borrow from 9 → 9 becomes 8, 4 becomes 14 → 14 - 5 = 9
- Ten-thousands: 8 - 8 = 0

Answer: 93577

Wait — let’s check:

Top: 94924
Bottom: 85647
94924 - 85647 = ?

Calculate:
94924 - 85647 = 9277

Wait! That doesn’t match our digit-by-digit.

Let’s redo:

```
9 4 9 2 4
- 8 5 6 4 7
------------
```

Units: 4 - 7 → borrow → 14 - 7 = 7 → carry over → tens becomes 1 (from 2)

Tens: 1 - 4 → can't → borrow from hundreds (9) → 9 becomes 8, tens becomes 11 → 11 - 4 = 7

Hundreds: 8 (after borrow) - 6 = 2

Thousands: 4 - 5 → can't → borrow from 9 → 9 becomes 8, 4 becomes 14 → 14 - 5 = 9

Ten-thousands: 8 - 8 = 0

So result: 09277 → 9277? Wait, that’s only 4 digits.

But original numbers are 5-digit → answer should be 5-digit?

Wait: 94924 - 85647 = ?

Compute directly:
94924 - 85647 = 9277 → yes, so leading zero is implied.

But in grid, we write as:

```
9 4 9 2 4
- 8 5 6 4 7
----------
0 9 2 7 7
```

So answer is 09277, or 9277, but since it's a 5-digit subtraction, we keep the leading zero in grid format.

But usually, we don't write leading zeros, so likely 9277.

But in the grid, we must fill all boxes.

So:

- Ten-thousands: 0
- Thousands: 9
- Hundreds: 2
- Tens: 7
- Units: 7

So answer: 09277

But actually, the difference is 9277, which is 4-digit → so ten-thousands digit is 0.

Yes → 09277 → but typically written as 9277, but in grid, we enter digits.

So final answer: 09277

But let’s confirm: 85647 + 9277 = 94924 → yes!

So answer is 09277

But maybe they expect just the number without leading zero → but in grid, we have 5 boxes → so we must write 0 in first box.

So: 0 9 2 7 7

7.

```
2 8 2 4 7
- 1 8 9 4 7
----------
```

- Units: 7 - 7 = 0
- Tens: 4 - 4 = 0
- Hundreds: 2 - 9 → can't → borrow from thousands → 8 becomes 7, 2 becomes 12 → 12 - 9 = 3
- Thousands: 7 (after borrow) - 8 → can't → borrow from 2 → 2 becomes 1, 7 becomes 17 → 17 - 8 = 9
- Ten-thousands: 1 - 1 = 0

Answer: 09300

Wait: 28247 - 18947 = ?

28247 - 18947 = 9300 → yes.

So: 09300

8.

```
5 9 8 1 0
- 5 8 2 2 7
----------
```

- Units: 0 - 7 → borrow → 10 - 7 = 3 → tens becomes 0 (was 1)
- Tens: 0 - 2 → can't → borrow from hundreds → 8 becomes 7, tens becomes 10 → 10 - 2 = 8
- Hundreds: 7 (after borrow) - 2 = 5
- Thousands: 9 - 8 = 1
- Ten-thousands: 5 - 5 = 0

Answer: 01583

Wait: 59810 - 58227 = ?

59810 - 58227 = 1583 → yes → so 01583
