5th Standard Mathematics | Unit-3 SUBTRACTION Exercise 3.1 | Complete Explanation

To subtract 5-digit numbers without borrowing, we simply subtract each digit starting from the rightmost (units place) to the left, where each digit in the top number is greater than or equal to the digit below it. Let's subtract: 75,389 32,174 -------- Start from the units place: • 9 - 4 = 5 • 8 - 7 = 1 • 3 - 1 = 2 • 5 - 2 = 3 • 7 - 3 = 4 So, 75,389 32,174 -------- 43,215 Answer: 43,215 The subtraction of two 5-digit numbers with borrowing (regrouping) : Question: Find the difference between 57,394 and 26,765. We subtract like this: 57,394 26,765 --------- Start subtracting from right to left (units to ten-thousands place): ________________________________________ 1. Units place: 4 - 5 → We can’t subtract 5 from 4, so we borrow 1 from the tens place. The 9 in tens place becomes 8, and 4 becomes 14. → 14 - 5 = 9 2. Tens place: Now we have 8 - 6 = 2 3. Hundreds place: 3 - 7 → We can’t subtract 7 from 3, so we borrow 1 from the thousands place. The 7 becomes 6, and 3 becomes 13. → 13 - 7 = 6 4. Thousands place: 6 - 6 = 0 5. Ten-thousands place: 5 - 2 = 3 ________________________________________ Now, write the result: 57,394 26,765 --------- 30,629 Final Answer: 30,629 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #5thstandardmathematicsSubtraction #5thstdmathsSubtractionexercise #5thstdmathsSubtractionexercisesolutions #5thgrademaths #5thclassmathsEnglishmedium #Subtractionof5digitnumberswithcarrying #Subtractionof5digitnumberswithoutcarrying
