Subtract 1542 from 2453: Multi-digit Subtraction Practice

To solve this problem of subtracting 1542 from 2453, we'll perform the arithmetic operation step-by-step, focusing on digit-by-digit subtraction with regrouping as necessary:

• *Step 1: Subtract in the Units Column (Rightmost):

• - The units place digits are 3 and 2. - Subtract 2 from 3, resulting in 1. No need for regrouping here.

• Step 2: Subtract in the Tens Column:

• - The tens place digits are 5 and 4. - Subtract 4 from 5, resulting in 1. No need for regrouping here.

• Step 3: Subtract in the Hundreds Column:

• - The hundreds place digits are 4 and 5. - 4 is less than 5, so we need to regroup. - Borrow 1 from the thousands place, turning 4 into 14 (since we borrowed 10 from the next higher place). - Now subtract 5 from 14, resulting in 9.

• Step 4: Subtract in the Thousands Column:

• - The thousands digit after borrowing is 1, and in the subtrahend, it is 1. - Subtract 1 from 1, giving us 0.

• Step 5: Compile the Results:

• - After subtracting each digit, we compile the result into 911.

Therefore, the solution to the problem 2453 minus 1542 is $911$.
