Answer :
To solve the problem of calculating [tex]4,350 + 173[/tex] using long division is a bit of confusion, as long division is a method used for division, not addition. However, I will demonstrate how to carry out this addition.
Let's calculate step-by-step:
Align the Numbers:
We'll write the numbers vertically with their digits aligned by place value:
[\begin{array}{r}
,\quad 173 \
- \ 4,350 \
\hline
\end{array}]
Add the Numbers Column by Column:
Start from the right (units column):
- 0 + 3 = 3
Move to the tens column:
- 5 + 7 = 12
- Write down 2 and carry over 1 to the hundreds column.
Move to the hundreds column:
- 3 + 1 (the carried over 1) = 4
- 4 + 1 (from 173) = 5
Thousands column:
- 4 (from 4,350) + 0 = 4
After adding each column, your numbers should now appear as follows:
[\begin{array}{r}
,\quad; 173 \- \ 4,350 \
\hline
,, 4,523 \
\end{array}]
The result of adding [tex]4,350 + 173[/tex] is [tex]4,523[/tex].
This problem demonstrates basic addition using a technique that organizes numbers by place value, ensuring accurate results. Even though long division wasn't required, this addition shows how to handle combining large numerals effectively.
