Estimate. then find the difference.
253,495-48,617=

Difference of the two numbers will be 204878.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is (253495 - 48617)

We have to calculate the difference of two numbers of the expression.

We can rewrite the numbers as

253495 = 2×100000 + 53×10000 + 4×100 + 95

048617 = 0×100000 + 48×10000 + 6×100 + 17

We can subtract these numbers to find difference

253495 - 048617 = (2×100000 - 0×100000) + (53×1000 -                       48×1000) +  (4×100 - 6×100) + (95 - 17)

                             = 100000(2 - 0) + 1000(53 - 48) + 100(4 - 6) + 78

                             = 2×100000 + 5×1000 - 2×100 + 78

                             = 200000 + 5000 - 200 + 78

                             = 2050000 - 122

                             = 204878
