If you’d like to tutor your kids math in subtraction, and learn the secrets to subtraction with regrouping and subtraction without borrowing, then this printable four digit subtraction facts  might be the first step towards helping your kids to achieve a+ in math subtraction.   Each digit of a number in our number system has a different place value (ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, etc) Always subtract within the same place value column when subtracting numbers. Subtraction is to find the difference.

Now, let us take one simple example with four digit numbers.  Step 1 Write the problem in the columns.     Step 2 First, subtract the ones     Subtract the bottom ones place digit from the top ones place digit (1 – 3).   Here, we need to regrouping the number to make the top value larger. Regroup 1 tens into 10 ones, so that the 1 becomes 11. 11 ones – 3 ones = 8 ones. The 8 is placed below the line in the ones place column.   Next, subtract the tens.      The top tens place value becomes 1 after subtraction with regrouping one tens from it.   Regroup 1 hundreds into 10 tens. 10 tens + 1 tens = 11 tens, 11 tens – 7 tens = 4 tens.   Then, subtract the hundreds      The top hundreds place value becomes 3 after subtraction with regrouping one hundreds from it.   Regroup 1 thousands into 10 hundreds. 10 hundreds + 3 hundreds = 13 hundreds, 13 hundreds – 6 hundreds = 7 hundreds.   Finally, subtract the thousands. 5 thousands – 1 thousands = 4 thousands. You will get the answer of 4748 with this math tutoring printable four digit subtraction facts.
