➕ Topic Summary
Subtracting multi-digit numbers involves taking away one number from another when the numbers have more than one digit. It’s important to line up the numbers correctly by place value (ones, tens, hundreds, etc.). Sometimes, you might need to borrow from the next place value if the digit you’re subtracting is larger than the digit you’re subtracting from. This worksheet will give you practice with these skills!
For example, to subtract 367 from 824, you write:
Since you can't subtract 7 from 4, you borrow from the tens place, making it 14 - 7. Continue this process for each place value.
