In this post we will try to learn addition of whole numbers using basic addition techniques.
In order to learn this concept you should have basic idea of addition and place values of numbers.
Adding Whole Numbers
We will learn the concept with the help of examples. First we will solve some easy questions then will move to the advance problems.
Example 01
Add 7532 + 739
Solution
Do the following step to solve the above addition
(a) Finding Place Values
(b) Vertical Arrangement
Arrange both the numbers column by column such that, ones and ones are in same column, Tens and Tens are in same column and so on….
(c) Adding number column wise
Here are the complete addition steps:
Step 01:
Start addition from “Ones” column
⟹ 2 + 9 = 11
We will write 1 in the Ones column and 1 is carryover to Tens place
Step 02
Now add Tens Column
⟹ 3 + 3 + 1 = 7
Step 03
Add Hundreds column
⟹ 5 + 7 = 12 (1 Thousands and 2 Hundreds)
We will write 2 in Hundreds column and 1 is carryover
Step 04
Add Thousands Column
⟹ 1 + 7 = 8
Hence 8271 is the final answer
This is how basic addition of whole numbers work.
Lets move on to solve some other examples.
Example 02
Add 2014210 and 6543947
Solution
Do the following steps:
(a) Find place values
(b) Vertical Arrangement
Arrange the number in column such that same place value numbers are in the same line
(c) Adding Column wise
Add the numbers by place value starting from right side.
Do the following steps:
Step 01
Add the number in “Ones” column
⟹ 0 + 7 = 7
Step 02:
Add the number in Tens column
⟹ 1 + 4 = 5
Step 03:
Add numbers in Hundreds (H) Columns
⟹ 9 + 2 = 11
We will write 1 in the hundred place and the other 1 will be carry over to thousandth place (shown in Green Color)
Step 04
Add the digits in Thousands (T) Place
⟹ 1+ 4 + 3 = 8
Step 05
Add the digits in Ten Thousand (TT) Place
⟹ 1+ 4 = 5
Step 06
Add the digits in Hundred Thousand (HT) Place
⟹ 0+ 5 = 5
Step 07
Add the digits in Million (M) place
Hence, 858157 is the solution of the given addition
Example 03
Add 25,73,260 and 7,46,425
Solution
Follow the below steps
(a) Find Place Values
(b) Vertical Arrangement
Arrange the numbers vertically such that numbers with same place value lie in the same line
(c) Add number column wise
Start adding numbers from the right end
Step 01
Add digit in unit place
⟹ 0 + 5 = 5
Step 02
Add digits on Tens column
⟹ 6 + 2 = 8
Step 03
Add Hundreds column
⟹ 4 + 2 = 6
Step 04
Add Thousands column
⟹ 3 + 6 = 9
Step 05
Add Ten Thousands column
⟹ 7 + 4 = 11
Write 1 in Ten Thousands column and 1 is carryover to Hundred Thousand column
Step 06
Add Hundred Thousand column
⟹ 1 + 5 + 7 = 13
Write 3 in Hundred Thousands column and 1 is carryover to Million column
Step 07
Add the Million Place Value
⟹ 1 + 2 = 3
Hence 319685 is the right answer
Lets move on to solve 3 digit whole numbers
Example 04
Add 365; 9,73,251; 66,54,986
Solution
(a) Finding Place Values
(b) Vertical Arrangement
Arrange all the numbers vertically such that digits with same place value lies on same line
(c) Add number Column wise
Start adding the number from right end
Step 01:
Adding numbers on “Ones” place
⟹ 5 + 1 + 6 = 12
We write 2 on the Ones place and carry the digit 1 over Tens place
Step 02:
Add numbers on “Tens” place
⟹ 1 + 6 + 5 + 8 = 20
We write 0 on Tens place and digit 2 is carried over to Hundreds place
Step 03
Add numbers on “Hundred” Place
⟹ 2 + 3 + 2 + 9 = 16
Write 6 in Hundreds place and 1 is carried over to thousands place
Step 04
Add numbers in “Thousands” place
⟹ 1 + 3 + 4 = 8
Step 05
Add numbers in “Ten Thousands” Place
⟹ 7 + 5 = 12
we put digit 2 in Ten Thousand place and digit 1 is carry over to Hundred Thousands Place
Step 06
Add numbers in “Hundred Thousands Place”
⟹ 1+ 9 + 6 = 16
Digit 6 is placed in hundred thousand place and 1 is carried over to Millionth place
Step 07
Add numbers on Millionth Place
⟹ 6 + 1 = 7
7628602 is the answer for the above addition
