Find the missing digits.
- K
- L
K658 - 28L3 = 4765(a)
In the hundreds place, 6 is less than 8.
So, there is regrouping in the thousands place.
K - 1 - 2 = 4
K = 4 + 2 + 1
K = 7
(b)
In the ones place, 8 is more than 3.
So, there is no regrouping in the tens place.
5 - L = 6
In the tens place, 6 is more than 5.
This means that there is a regrouping done in the hundreds place so that 15 can substract a certain number to get 6.
L = 15 - 6
L = 9
Answer(s): (a) 7; (b) 9
