Vertical Subtraction Practice Problems & Worksheets

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Align the numbers vertically by their place values.

• Step 2: Subtract the digits in the ones place.

• Step 3: Subtract the digits in the tens place, borrowing if needed.

Now, let's work through each step together:

Step 1: Align 97 and 63 vertically:

$\begin{array}{c} \phantom{00\ }9\phantom{0}7 \\ -\phantom{0}6\phantom{0}3 \\ \hline \end{array}$

Step 2: Start with the ones place:

The digits are 7 and 3.

Subtract 3 from 7: $7 - 3 = 4$.

Step 3: Move to the tens place:

The digits are 9 and 6.

Subtract 6 from 9: $9 - 6 = 3$.

Write the results in their respective place values:

$\begin{array}{c} \phantom{00\ }9\phantom{0}7 \\ -\phantom{0}6\phantom{0}3 \\ \hline \phantom{00\ }3\phantom{0}4 \\ \end{array}$

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 34.

To solve the subtraction problem by vertically aligning the numbers, we will work as follows:

• Step 1: Write the numbers vertically aligning by place value.
  $\begin{array}{c} 49 \\ -31~~~\\ \underline{\phantom{7600}} \\ \end{array}$

• Step 2: Start subtracting from the units column (rightmost).
  Subtract the units digit: $9 - 1 = 8$.

• Step 3: Move to the tens column.
  Subtract the tens digit: $4 - 3 = 1$.

The subtraction gives us a result.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $18$.

To solve this vertical subtraction problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Align the numbers vertically. Place the number 25 over the number 24, ensuring the digits are in the correct columns (tens and units).
• Step 2: Subtract the units (rightmost) digits first. In this case, subtract 4 from 5.
  $5 - 4 = 1$
• Step 3: Subtract the tens digits. In this case, subtract 2 from 2.
  $2 - 2 = 0$

Now write the result of the subtraction in each column below the line. The units column has 1, and the tens column has 0, resulting in the final answer.

Therefore, the solution to the subtraction $25 - 24$ is $1$.

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Align the numbers for vertical subtraction.

• Step 2: Subtract the digits in the units column.

• Step 3: Subtract the digits in the tens column if necessary.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: We'll arrange the numbers as follows:
$\begin{array}{c} {85} \\ {-81} ~~\ \\ \hline ? \\ \end{array}$ Step 2: Start by subtracting the digits in the units column: $5 - 1 = 4$.

Step 3: Move to the tens column: $8 - 8 = 0$.

The result is 04, which simplifies to just 4.

Therefore, the difference when we subtract 81 from 85 is $\boxed{4}$.

Let's solve the subtraction problem $37 - 25$ using vertical subtraction:

• Step 1: Align the numbers vertically:

  $\begin{array}{c} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 37 \\ - \ \ \ \ 25 \\ \hline \end{array}$

• Step 2: Start with the rightmost column (units place):

  $7 - 5 = 2$

  Write $2$ under the line in the units place.

• Step 3: Move to the left column (tens place):

  $3 - 2 = 1$

  Write $1$ under the line in the tens place. This gives us $12$ as the result.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $12$.
