Find the missing digits.
- A
- B
A536 - 61B4 = 1382(a)
In the hundreds place, 5 is more than 1.
So, there is no regrouping in the thousands place.
A - 6 = 1
A = 1 + 6
A = 7
(b)
In the ones place, 6 is more than 4.
So, there is no regrouping in the tens place.
3 - B = 8
In the tens place, 8 is more than 3.
This means that there is a regrouping done in the hundreds place so that 13 can substract a certain number to get 8.
B = 13 - 8
B = 5
Answer(s): (a) 7; (b) 5
