Step 1 of 4 · The strategy
Stack 4 digits. Subtract column-by-column, right to left. Borrow when needed.
If the top digit is smaller, borrow from the next column. If that column is 0, the borrow chains further left.
Step 2 of 4 · 4,321 − 1,876
4,321 − 1,876 = 2,445
Step 3 of 4 · 5,000 − 2,345 (borrow chain!)
5,000 − 2,345 = 2,655
Step 4 of 4 · Your turn
Stack vertically and borrow as needed.
