Question

What is 2160 minus 1600 long way

Answer 1

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
`0-0`the 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`
