Subtract the following. a. 7,46,05,216 - 3,35,82,197

To subtract the numbers 7,46,05,216 and 3,35,82,197, we'll break it down step by step to ensure clarity and accuracy.
First, let's write the numbers in standard numerical form for easier calculation:

The number 7,46,05,216 is written as 74 , 605 , 216 .
The number 3,35,82,197 is written as 33 , 582 , 197 .

Now, proceed with the subtraction:
74 , 605 , 216 − 33 , 582 , 197

Start from the rightmost digits (units place) and move to the left:

Units: 6 − 7 requires borrowing from the adjacent place value. Borrowing makes it 16 − 7 = 9 .


Next, tens place:

1 − 9 requires borrowing again, so we borrow from the hundreds place, making it 11 − 9 = 2 .


Hundreds place:

After borrowing, 1 − 1 = 0 .


Thousands place:

5 − 2 = 3 .


Ten-thousands place:

0 − 8 requires borrowing, making it 10 − 8 = 2 .


Hundred-thousands place:

After borrowing, 5 − 5 = 0 .


Millions place:

6 − 3 = 3 .


Ten-millions place:

Finally, 7 − 3 = 4 .



Now putting it all together:
74 , 605 , 216 − 33 , 582 , 197 = 41 , 023 , 019
Thus, the result of the subtraction is 41 , 023 , 019 .
