Here we will show you step-by-step how to calculate 0 minus 33 using the long subtraction method.
Before we continue, note that 0 is called the minuend and 33 is called the subtrahend.
To solve the problem 0 minus 33 using long subtraction, we first put the largest number on top and the smallest number at the bottom like this:
| 3 | 3 | |||||||
| - | 0 | 0 | ||||||
Then you subtract the ones digits (3 - 0 = 3) like this:
| 3 | 3 | |||||||
| - | 0 | 0 | ||||||
| 3 |
Next you subtract the tens digits (3 - 0 = 3) like this:
| 3 | 3 | |||||||
| - | 0 | 0 | ||||||
| 3 | 3 |
Note that since the minuend is smaller than the subtrahend, the answer is a negative number.
And that's it. The problem with the answer is displayed below:
0 - 33 = -33
