📖Multi-Digit Subtraction

When subtracting large numbers, work from right to left. Subtract ones, then tens, then hundreds, then thousands. Borrow (regroup) when the digit being subtracted is larger than the digit above it.

💡

Always check your work by adding your answer to the number you subtracted. It should equal the original number!
