Title: Subtraction

Grade: 1-a Lesson: S3-L8

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

Examples:

Subtract 147 - 19

Step 1a

Subtract 147 from 19

Arrange the numbers vertically. Subtract one’s place digits 7 – 9. We have to take borrowing from ten’s place. Here the value is now 17. subtract 17 - 9 = 8. write 8 in one’s column.

$1a$

Explanation: Start subtracting with the digit at one’s place i.e., 7 - 9 We take a borrow from ten’s place since 7 < 9. Here the value is 17. subtract 17 - 9 = 8. write the 8 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 147 - 19 = 128.

$1d$

Explanation: Therefore, the difference between the two given numbers is 147 - 19 = 128.
