SUBTRACTION OF COMPOUND NUMBERS.

146.

SUBTRACTION of Compound Numbers is the process

of finding the difference between two compound numbers. From 617£. 11s. 8d. take 181£. 15s. 5d.

Ex. 1.

OPERATION.

£

8. d.

Min. 617 11 8
Sub. 181 15 5
Rem. 435 16 3

Ans. 435£. 16s. 3d.

Having placed the less number under the greater, pence under pence, shillings under shillings, &c., we begin with pence, thus: 5d. from 8d. leaves 3d., which we set under the column of pence. As we cannot take 15s. from 11s., we add 20s. 12. to the 11s., making 31s., and then subtract the 15s. from it, and set the remainder, 16s., under the column of shillings. Then, having added 1£. 20s. to the 181£., to compensate for the 20s. added to the 11s. in the minuend, we subtract the pounds as in subtraction of simple numbers, and obtain 435£. for the remainder, and as the result complete, 435£. 16s. 3d.

=

RULE. Write the less compound number under the greater, so that units of the same denomination shall stand in the same column.

Subtract as in subtraction of simple numbers.

If any number in the subtrahend is larger than that above it, add to the upper number as many units as make one of the next higher denomination before subtracting, and carry one to the next lower number before subtracting it.

Proof. The proof is the same as in simple subtraction.

NOTE.

As half a foot is equal to 6 inches, we add them to the 5 inches, which make 11 inches.
