Addition and Subtraction Together |
We need addition and subtraction to combine and separate quantities, helping us solve everyday problems like counting money, measuring items, and comparing amounts. Let's start by recalling about addition and subtraction:
Let's learn the addition of 4-Digit Numbers directly through the following examples:
Example 1: Add 5433 and 1522.
Arranging the addends in the column form and adding columnwise, we have,
Thus, 5433 + 1522 = 6955.
Edurev Tips: To add two or more 4-digit numbers, we add the ones, the tens, the hundreds and the thousands.
Example 2: Add 3437 and 4689.
Thus, 3437 + 4689 = 8126.
Example 3: Add 7895, 5675, and 2589
Thus, 7895 + 5675 + 2589 = 16159.
Now, we have mastered the concepts of addition of 4 digit numbers. Let's learn how to add 5 & 6 digit numbers now!
Method to add 5 & 6 Digit Numbers:
Example 1: Add 25603 and 12396.
Thus, 25603 + 12396 = 37999.
Working: Add
Example 2: Add 17125 and 13799.
Thus, 17125 + 13799 = 30924.
Working:
Example 3: Find the sum of ninety-four thousand nine hundred sixty-eight and one lakh five hundred seventy-two.
Step 1: First, we write numerals for the addends, in proper columns. Ninety-four thousand nine hundred sixty-eight = 94,968 One lakh five hundred seventy-two = 1,00,572
Step 2: Add the addends and write the sum.
Thus, 94968 + 100572 = 195540.
Example 1: A LED TV costs ₹ 21,235. An air conditioner costs ₹ 11,354 more. What is the cost of the air conditioner? What is the total cost of both the items?
Cost of the LED TV = ₹ 21,235
Cost of the air conditioner = ₹ 21,235 + ₹ 11,354 = ₹ 32,589
Total cost of both the items = ₹ 21,235 + ₹ 32,589 = ₹ 53,824.
Example 2: There are 2,28,369 men, 2,15,008 women and 1,98,326 children in a town. What is the total population of the town?
Number of men in the town = 2,28,369
Number of women in the town = 2,15,008
Number of children in the town = 1,98,326
Total population of the town = 2,28,369 + 2,15,008 + 1,98,326 = 6,41,703
Thus, the total population of the town = 6,41,703.
Working:
Commutative Property: Changing the order of addends does not change the sum.
Changing the order of the two addends does not change the sum.
Study the following examples:
Example of Property 1: Find the sum of 4619 and 2836.
Let us add 4619 and 2836 in two ways.
First Way: 4619 + 2836
Second Way: 2836 + 4619
We see that, 4619 + 2836 = 2836 + 4619 = 7455.
This proves the order property of addition.
Zero Property: Adding zero to any number gives the number itself.
The sum of any number and 0 is that number itself.
Example of Property 2: Find the sum of 51682 and 0.
Thus, 51682 + 0 = 51682.
This proves the additive property of 0.
The way in which we group the addends does not change the sum
Example of Property 3: Add: 6038 + 7767 + 8437
Let us add 6038, 7767 and 8437 in two ways.
First Way: (6038 + 7767) + 8437
Second Way: 6038 + (7767 + 8437)
Thus, (6038 + 7767) + 8437 = 6038 + (7767 + 8437) = 22242.
This proves the associative property of addition.
Case I: Without Borrowing
Example: Subtract 6432 from 8584.
Thus, 8584 – 6432 = 2152.
Case 2: With Borrowing
Example: Subtract: 6543 – 3874
Thus, 6543 – 3874 = 2669.
Write:
Edurev Tips: Borrow mentally and work out your subtraction question as shown below.
Example: Subtract 6845 from 8762.
We subtract as under:
Thus, 8762 – 6845 = 1917.
Write:
Subtracting with 5- and 6-digit numbers is like subtracting with 1-, 2-, 3- or 4-digit numbers. You subtract the ones, subtract the tens, subtract the hundreds and so on.
Case I: Without Borrowing
Example 1: Subtract 42321 from 76573.
Thus, 76573 – 42321 = 34252.
Case 2: With Borrowing
Example 1: Subtract 2,97,973 from 5,82,621.
Thus, 5,82,621 – 2,97,973 = 2,84,648.
Write:
Edurev Tips: Do the borrowing mentally.
Example 1: A factory produced 2,80,575 LED bulbs in 2017. In 2018, it produced 3,50,780 bulbs. By how many bulbs did the factory’s production increase?
Number of bulbs produced in 2018 = 3,50,780
Number of bulbs produced in 2017 = 2,80,575
Number of bulbs increased in 2018 = 3,50,780 – 2,80,575 = 70,205
Thus, the increase in the production of number of bulbs in 2018 is 70,205.
Example 2: A stadium has a seating capacity of 1,02,225. The government increases the size of the stadium. Now, the seating capacity is 1,25,000. How many new seats are added in the stadium?
New seating capacity = 1,25,000
Old seating capacity = 1,02,225
Number of new seats added = 1,25,000 – 1,02,225 = 22,775
Thus, the number of new seats added in the stadium is 22,775.
Sometimes, we need to solve a problem that involves both addition and subtraction. In such cases, first, we add and then subtract.
Example 1: Simplify: 5109 – 3178 + 12863.
Step 1: First, we add 5109 and 12863.
Step 2: Subtract 3178 from the sum obtained in step 1.
Thus, 5109 – 3178 + 12863 = 14794.
Example 2: Simplify: 238691 + 325051 – 452310.
Step 1: Add the numbers with same (+) signs.
Step 2: Subtract the third number from the sum obtained in step 1.
Thus, 238691 + 325051 – 452310 = 111432.
Example 3: In an exhibition, 1,02,000 persons, in all visited on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. If 41,345 persons visited the exhibition on Monday and 53,869 persons on Tuesday, then how many persons visited the exhibition on Wednesday?
Number of persons who visited the exhibition on the first two days
= 41,345 + 53,869 = 95,214
Total number of persons who visited the exhibition = 1,02,000.
So, the number of persons who visited the exhibition on Wednesday
= 1,02,000 – 95,214 = 6,786
Hence, 6,786 persons visited the exhibition on Wednesday.
To estimate a sum or a difference, first round off each number to its nearest tens, hundreds or thousands as per the number of digits in the numbers and then, add or subtract.
Example 1: Mr Khan bought a mobile for ₹ 8,793 and a chair for ₹ 3,925. Estimate how much did he pay more for the mobile?
Estimated cost of a mobile = ₹ 9,000 (8793 rounded to the nearest thousand as 9,000.)
Estimated cost of a chair = ₹ 4,000 (3925 rounded to the nearest thousand as 4,000.)
So, Mr Khan paid about ₹ 9,000 – ₹ 4,000 = ₹ 5,000 for mobile.
Example 2: Estimate the sum of 247 and 1,375 by rounding each number to the nearest hundred. Also, compare with actual sum?
So, the estimated sum is 1600 and the actual sum is 1622.
Difference = 1622 – 1600 = 22.
Hence, the actual sum is 22 more than the estimated sum.
