Grade: 1-a Lesson: S3-L7

Explanation: The best way to understand subtraction is by looking at some examples. Take turns and read each example for easy understanding.

Examples:

Subtract 142 - 18

Step 1a

Subtract 142 from 18

Arrange the numbers vertically. Subtract one’s place digits 2 – 8. We have to take borrowing from ten’s place. Here the value is now 12. subtract 12 - 8 = 4 write 4 in one’s column.

$1a$

Explanation: Start subtracting with the digit at one’s place i.e., 2 - 8 We take a borrow from ten’s place since 2 < 8. Here the value is 12. subtract 12 - 8 = 4. write the 4 in one’s column.

Step 1b

Subtract ten’s place digits 3 - 1 = 2. write 2 in ten’s column.

$1b$

Explanation: Move to the ten’s place i.e., 3 - 1 = 2. Write 2 in the ten’s place.

Step 1c

Subtract the hundred’s place digits 1 - 0 = 1. Write 1 in hundred’s column.

$1c$

Explanation: Let’s move to subtract hundred’s place digits 1 - 0 = 1. Write 1 under the hundred’s column.

Step 1d

Thus 142 - 18 = 124.

$1d$

Explanation: Therefore, the difference between the two given numbers is 142 - 18 = 124.
