Given the number 637
Let's decrease its hundreds digit by 4
What number did we get?

What number do the blue squares below represent?
Count from right to left: the first digit is ones, second is tens, third is hundreds. In 637, the hundreds digit is 6 because it's in the third position from the right.
If you need to subtract a larger number from a smaller digit, you might need to borrow from the next place value, just like in regular subtraction. But in this problem, 6 - 4 = 2 works fine!
No! Only change the specific digit mentioned. The tens digit (3) and ones digit (7) stay exactly the same, giving us 237.
Break down both numbers by place value: 637 = 600 + 30 + 7, and your answer should be 200 + 30 + 7 = 237. The hundreds place should differ by exactly 400 (since 4 × 100 = 400).
Regular subtraction changes the entire number (637 - 4 = 633). Place value operations change only the specific digit in its position, keeping other digits the same.
