Step-by-step solution for: 4 Digit Subtraction Coloring Worksheets - Worksheet School
Let’s solve each subtraction problem step by step. We’ll go column by column from right to left (ones, tens, hundreds, thousands), and regroup (borrow) when needed.
---
1. 3628 - 1274
- Ones: 8 - 4 = 4
- Tens: 2 - 7 → can’t do, borrow from hundreds. Hundreds is 6 → becomes 5, tens become 12. 12 - 7 = 5
- Hundreds: 5 - 2 = 3
- Thousands: 3 - 1 = 2
→ 2354
---
2. 2972 - 1490
- Ones: 2 - 0 = 2
- Tens: 7 - 9 → can’t do, borrow from hundreds. Hundreds is 9 → becomes 8, tens become 17. 17 - 9 = 8
- Hundreds: 8 - 4 = 4
- Thousands: 2 - 1 = 1
→ 1482
---
3. 5424 - 2573
- Ones: 4 - 3 = 1
- Tens: 2 - 7 → can’t do, borrow from hundreds. Hundreds is 4 → becomes 3, tens become 12. 12 - 7 = 5
- Hundreds: 3 - 5 → can’t do, borrow from thousands. Thousands is 5 → becomes 4, hundreds become 13. 13 - 5 = 8
- Thousands: 4 - 2 = 2
→ 2851
---
4. 4623 - 2306
- Ones: 3 - 6 → can’t do, borrow from tens. Tens is 2 → becomes 1, ones become 13. 13 - 6 = 7
- Tens: 1 - 0 = 1
- Hundreds: 6 - 3 = 3
- Thousands: 4 - 2 = 2
→ 2317
---
5. 6896 - 3508
- Ones: 6 - 8 → can’t do, borrow from tens. Tens is 9 → becomes 8, ones become 16. 16 - 8 = 8
- Tens: 8 - 0 = 8
- Hundreds: 8 - 5 = 3
- Thousands: 6 - 3 = 3
→ 3388
---
6. 9953 - 4592
- Ones: 3 - 2 = 1
- Tens: 5 - 9 → can’t do, borrow from hundreds. Hundreds is 9 → becomes 8, tens become 15. 15 - 9 = 6
- Hundreds: 8 - 5 = 3
- Thousands: 9 - 4 = 5
→ 5361
---
7. 7108 - 3093
- Ones: 8 - 3 = 5
- Tens: 0 - 9 → can’t do, borrow from hundreds. But hundreds is 1 → we need to borrow from thousands first.
- Thousands: 7 → 6
- Hundreds: 1 → 11 (but we need to lend to tens, so hundreds become 10, then tens get 10)
- Actually: Borrow 1 from thousands (7→6), hundreds become 11. Then borrow 1 from hundreds (11→10), tens become 10.
- Now tens: 10 - 9 = 1
- Hundreds: 10 - 0 = 10? Wait — no: after borrowing, hundreds are now 10, but we subtract 0 → 10? That’s not right.
Wait — let's redo carefully:
7108
-3093
______
Ones: 8 - 3 = 5 ✔
Tens: 0 - 9 → need to borrow. Look at hundreds digit: it’s 1. So borrow 1 from hundreds → hundreds become 0, tens become 10.
But 10 - 9 = 1 ✔
Hundreds: now 0 - 0 = 0 ✔
Thousands: 7 - 3 = 4 ✔
→ 4015
Wait — that seems off. Let me check with addition: 4015 + 3093 = 7108?
4015 + 3000 = 7015; +93 = 7108 → yes! Correct.
Actually, I made a mistake in my initial thought — the hundreds digit was 1, we borrowed 1 for tens, so hundreds become 0, and we subtract 0 → 0. So answer is 4015
