00:03 Each time consider a deficit of 2 digits, and then we'll place
00:06 Now subtract ones from ones, and place in ones
00:09 Subtract tens from tens, and place in tens
00:14 1 is less than 4
00:18 Borrow a thousand from thousands for the hundreds
00:21 That means now instead of 1 we'll have 11, in hundreds!
00:26 Subtract hundreds from hundreds, and place in hundreds
00:34 Subtract thousands from thousands, and place in thousands
00:37 Place 0 in the missing digits
00:39 Subtract ten thousands from ten thousands, and place

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the subtraction problem, follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Align the minuend 7210172101 and the subtrahend 14001400 by their place values.

  • Step 2: Subtract each digit starting from the rightmost side (units place).

Let's perform the subtraction:

1. Units place: 10=11 - 0 = 1 2. Tens place: 00=00 - 0 = 0 3. Hundreds place: 141 - 4 requires borrowing. Borrow 1 from the thousands place, changing the 22 in thousands to 11, making it: - Hundreds place becomes 114=711 - 4 = 7. 4. Thousands place: After borrowing, the thousands place becomes 21=12 - 1 = 1. 5. Ten-thousands place: 70=77 - 0 = 7.

Thus, the subtraction is performed as follows:

7210172101
01400 - \phantom{0}1400
__________
7070170701

Therefore, the result of the subtraction is 7070170701.
