Here we will show you step-by-step how to calculate 63 plus 17 (63 + 17) using the Long Addition Method. We start by setting up our math problem as follows:
| 6 | 3 | |||||||
| + | 1 | 7 | ||||||
The next step is to add the ones digits together (3 + 7 = 10). Since the sum creates 1 tens digit, we put the 1 in the tens column, and the 0 at the bottom of the ones:
| 1 | ||||||||
| 6 | 3 | |||||||
| + | 1 | 7 | ||||||
| 0 |
Then in our final step, we add the tens digits together (including the 1 from the previous step): 6 + 1 + 1 = 8 and put that sum at the bottom:
| 1 | ||||||||
| 6 | 3 | |||||||
| + | 1 | 7 | ||||||
| 8 | 0 |
And that is how you solve 63 plus 17 using the Long Addition Method! The answer is displayed mathematically below:
63 + 17 = 80
