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 .
