Counting back will help you find out what&#8217;s left after taking one number away from another. Subtraction has many everyday applications like calculating the amount you are left with after shopping, finding the number of candies left in a bag if you eat some, etc. There are many instances where we find this method convenient to find the difference between two numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Counting back is a method of learning subtraction by taking away the smaller number from the larger number by counting backward from the larger number. Here, we remove one number in every step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">For example: Suppose that there are 13 lollipops and you eat 5 of them; how many lollipops will remain? Let\u2019s count back to subtract 5 from 13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">On counting back, we get<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">$13$ $-$ $5 = 8$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">The image shows how we can subtract by counting back!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\"

Now, count back the number of steps equal to the subtrahend. The new point obtained is the difference between the two numbers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">For example: If you want to find the answer for 22 \u2013 6, mark 22 on the number line, and then count back 6 steps to reach the answer, which is 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"614\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Count-Back-4.png\" alt=\"Number line technique of counting back\" class=\"wp-image-13241\" title=\"Number line technique of counting back\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Count-Back-4.png 614w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Count-Back-4-300x154.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 614px) 100vw, 614px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-finger-counting-technique-\"><strong>Finger Counting Technique&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">In this technique, you have to draw out the fingers to the extent of the smaller number to count back from the larger number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">For example, if you want to calculate 8 &#8211; 2, draw out 2 fingers and then count from 8 backwards using the two fingers. The number that will come on the last finger while counting back will be your answer. So, you will count backward from 8 on your two fingers as 7 and 6.

For example, multiples of 10 are friendly since they are easy to add and subtract. When you are dealing with relatively difficult numbers, first try to reach the nearest multiple of 10 (or the friendly number) by subtracting a convenient part of the smaller number from the larger number. Finally, subtract the balance of the smaller number from the friendly number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">For example, let\u2019s subtract 26 from 96 using this trick. First, subtract 6 from 96 to reach the friendly number 90. Next, subtract the balance 20 from 90 to get the answer, which will be 70.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"8-subtrahend-breaking-trick-\"><strong>Subtrahend Breaking Trick&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">In this trick, you can break the subtrahend (smaller number) into ones and tens (using the place values), as they are easier to subtract (by counting back), and then subtract them from the larger number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">For example: If you want to calculate $853$ $-$ $283$, first break 283 as $200 + 80 + 3$.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Subtract 200 from 853 to get 653. Subtract 80 from 653 to get 573 and then finally subtract the remaining 3 from 573 to get the answer, which will be 570.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">In equation, the example can be written as<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">$283 = 200 + 80 + 3$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Now, $853$ $-$ $200 = 653$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">$653$ $-$ $80 =&nbsp;573$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">$573$ $-$ $3 = 570$, i.e., the final answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"9-count-back-facts-in-math\">Count Back Facts in Math<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Here are other terms we sometimes use to say \u2018count back\u2019: Counting backwards, Counting down, Backward counting<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Counting back in twos: Subtracting 2 from the larger number at each step of counting<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">So, counting back in \u2018n\u2019 means we subtract the number n from the larger number at every step in counting backwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"10-solved-examples\">Solved Examples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>1.
