Find the missing digits.
- H
- K
H947 - 58K4 = 1053(a)
In the hundreds place, 9 is more than 8.
So, there is no regrouping in the thousands place.
H - 5 = 1
H = 1 + 5
H = 6
(b)
In the ones place, 7 is more than 4.
So, there is no regrouping in the tens place.
4 - K = 5
In the tens place, 5 is more than 4.
This means that there is a regrouping done in the hundreds place so that 14 can substract a certain number to get 5.
K = 14 - 5
K = 9
Answer(s): (a) 6; (b) 9
