Borrowing from a group of zeros
Consider the problem
In this case, we have a group of zeros.
Since we cannot borrow any tens or hundreds, we must borrow 1 thousand. One thousand = 10 hundreds.
We can now borrow 1 hundred from 10 hundreds. One hundred = 10 tens.
We can now borrow 1 ten from 10 tens. One ten = 10 ones.
From observations made in this procedure we can suggest the following method for borrowing from a group of zeros.

Borrowing from a group of zeros
To borrow from a group of zeros,
- Decrease the digit to the immediate left of the group of zeros by one.
- Draw a line through each zero in the group and make it a 9, except the rightmost zero, make it 10.
- Proceed to subtract as usual.
Sample set f
Perform each subtraction.
The number 40,000 contains a group of zeros.
-
The number to the immediate left of the group is 4. Decrease 4 by 1.
-
Make each 0, except the rightmost one, 9. Make the rightmost 0 a 10.
-
Subtract as usual.

The number 8,000,006 contains a group of zeros.
- The number to the immediate left of the group is 8. Decrease 8 by 1.
-
Make each zero, except the rightmost one, 9. Make the rightmost 0 a 10.
-
To perform the subtraction, we’ll need to borrow from the ten.
