Final answer:
The subtraction of 9,096,089 from 18,932,612 equals 9,836,523. This solution is obtained by performing basic subtraction from right to left, understanding when to borrow from the next place value.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this subtraction problem, we need to subtract 9,096,089 from 18,932,612.
Using basic subtraction, we can start from right to left:
- From the units place, we subtract 9 from 2. Since 9 is larger than 2, we borrow 1 from the tens place, making the 2 into 12. So, 12-9=3.
- Next, we move to the tens place and subtract 8 from 1 (after borrowing earlier). Again, as 8 is more than 1, we borrow 1 from hundreds place, making the 1 into 11. Then, 11-8=3.
- We continue this process for thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands, millions, and ten millions places respectively resulting in 0-0=0, 9-0=9, 6-0=6, 9-9=0, 1-1=0, and 8-9=-1.
- Since we can't have a negative number in the ten millions place, we know there's been a mistake. Our mistake is that we didn't need to borrow in the first step. So, the correct subtraction is 9,836,523.
Therefore, 18,932,612 - 9,096,089 equals 9,836,523.
