FOR ONLINE USE ONLY DO NOT DUPLICATE Chapter Three Subtraction of whole numbers Introduction Subtraction is a process of taking away some objects from a collection of LY objects. It is the opposite of addition. In Standard Four, you learnt how to subtract numbers with not more than five digits. You subtracted numbers by regrouping and without regrouping. You also learnt how to solve word N problems involving subtraction of whole numbers. In this chapter, you will learn subtraction of numbers with not more than six digits by regrouping and O without regrouping. You will also learn how to solve word problems involving subtraction of numbers. You need to understand how to subtract numbers SE in order to perform some activities in real life. Subtraction is used when dealing with money, cooking, travelling, time and other daily life activities.

Subtract hundreds: 6 – 2 = 4. Write 4 in the hundreds O position. 4. Subtract thousands: 1 – 4. 981 746 – 274 272 = _ _ 7 474 This is not sufficient. Take 1 group of ten thousands from the SE 8 ten thousands and change it U into thousands. This gives 10 thousands. Add thousands: 10 + 1 = 11. Now, subtract E thousands: 11 – 4 = 7. Write 7 in N the thousands position. 5. Remember that, one group of ten 981 746 – 274 272 = _ 07 474 LI thousands was taken from the 8 ten thousands. Thus, only 7 ten N thousands remained. Subtract O thousands: 7 – 7. Write 0 in the ten thousands position. 6. Subtract hundred thousands: 981 746 – 274 272 = 707 474 R 9 – 2 = 7. Write 7 in the hundred FO thousands position.

Subtraction of numbers is done by arranging numbers either horizontally or vertically. 2. In subtraction, start by subtracting ones, then tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands and hundred thousands. 3. In solving word problems, consider the following: (a) Read the given word problem to identify the arithmetic operation LY to be performed. (b) Perform the operation on the numbers mentioned in the problem. (c) After the calculations, conclude by answering the question asked N in the problem. O 4. In any situation where you are required to subtract a larger digit from a smaller digit, always look at the digit immediately to the left of the SE smaller digit, and take 1 group from it. Change the taken group into 10 ones, or 10 tens, or 10 hundreds, or 10 thousands, or 10 ten thousands, depending on the place value of the digit being subtracted. Add 10 to U the smaller digit which was insufficient to subtract in the first place and then perform the subtraction. 5. When subtracting numbers by vertical arrangement, make sure that E the digits are properly aligned, ones placed under ones, tens placed under tens, and so on.
