Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Solve

00:03 Each time we consider a shortage of 2 digits, and then we'll place

00:06 5 is less than 6

00:13 Therefore, we subtract 1 from the tens and add this amount to the ones

00:17 So now instead of 5 we'll have 15

00:22 We subtract the ones from the ones plus ten

00:27 We place in the ones

00:33 7 is less than 9

00:38 Therefore, we subtract 1 from the hundreds and add this amount to the tens

00:42 So now instead of 7 we'll have 17

00:47 We subtract the tens from the tens plus ten

00:51 We place in the tens

00:56 We subtract hundreds from hundreds, and place in hundreds

01:00 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem of subtracting 196 from 285 using vertical subtraction, follow these steps:

Step 1: Write the numbers vertically, aligning them by place value:
$\begin{array}{c} \phantom{0}285 \\ -196 \\ \underline{\phantom{076}} \\ \end{array}$
Step 2: Start with the units column (rightmost digits). Subtract 6 from 5. Since 5 is smaller than 6, we need to carry from the tens column:
- Take 1 from 8 (in the tens column) to make it 7. - Add 10 to the 5 in the units column, making it 15. - Now, $15 - 6 = 9$ .
Step 3: Move to the tens column. Subtract 9 from 7. Since 7 is smaller than 9, we need to carry from the hundreds column:
- Take 1 from 2 (in the hundreds column) to make it 1. - Add 10 to the 7 in the tens column, making it 17. - Now, $17 - 9 = 8$ .
Step 4: Finish with the hundreds column. Subtract 1 from 1 (after carrying):
- $1 - 1 = 0$ .
Step 5: Combine the results to get the final answer:
- The result of the subtraction is 089, or simply 89.

Therefore, the result of subtracting 196 from 285 is $89$ .
