How do you subtract 1013 and 579?

Answer 1

To subtract 579 from 1013, start by aligning the numbers vertically by their place values:

  1013
-  579

Subtract the digits starting from the rightmost column: 3 - 9 cannot be done, so you need to borrow from the 1 (which becomes 0), making the 3 a 13. Now, 13 - 9 equals 4. Next, subtract the tens column: 0 - 7 requires borrowing again, turning the 10 into 9, making 10 - 7 equal 3. Finally, subtract the hundreds: 9 - 5 equals 4. So, 1013 - 579 equals 434.
