Hey there, Lets solve this problem together.

The First step is to line up the numbers.


= 2160 - 1600


\mathrm{Subtract\:each\:column\:of\:digits,\:starting\:from\:the\:right\:and\:working\:left}

We calculate
0-0the result of which is
0

We calculate
6-0 the result of which is
6.

Since we get a negative number in the next column, we must take 1 from the next column and carry it over to this column. Now the number will be changed to 10.

We calculate
10+1-6, and the result is
5.

We calculate
2-1-1 the result of which is
0.

Therefore,


2160 - 1600 = 0560
