Subtraction of 4-digit Numbers With Borrowing

Subtraction with borrowing for 4-digit numbers is same as that for 3-digit numbers
except for the fact that borrowing may start from thousands place if required. Let us

learn through examples.

Let's Try

Example 1: Subtract 4968 from 7873.

Solution: Arrange the given numbers in columns and then follow these steps:

Step 1: Starting from ones column, 3 < 8 Th H T O

we borrow 1 ten from tens column. 6 13

1 ten + 3 ones = 10 ones + 3 ones – 7 8 7 3

13 ones – 8 ones = 5 ones 4 9 6 8
5
Write 5 under ones column.
