Step-by-step solution
5 stepsHere's how to subtract the numbers in base five:
We need to calculate .
Align the numbers by their place values.
Subtract the rightmost column (units place).
We need to subtract . Since , we borrow from the next column to the left.
Borrow 1 from the '2' in the place, which means we add 5 to the '1' in the place.
So, 1 becomes . The '2' in the place becomes '1'.
Now, we calculate .Subtract the next column (fives place).
We now have '1' in this column (from the original '2' after borrowing).
We need to subtract . Since , we borrow from the next column to the left.
Borrow 1 from the '3' in the place, which means we add 5 to the '1' in the place.
So, 1 becomes . The '3' in the place becomes '2'.
Now, we calculate .Subtract the next column (twenty-fives place).
We now have '2' in this column (from the original '3' after borrowing).
We need to subtract .Subtract the leftmost column (one hundred twenty-fives place).
We have '4' in this column.
We need to subtract .Leading zeros are not typically written, so is simply .
The final answer is .
