Here we will show you step-by-step how to calculate 63 plus 38 (63 + 38) using the Long Addition Method. We start by setting up our math problem as follows:
| 6 | 3 | |||||||
| + | 3 | 8 | ||||||
The next step is to add the ones digits together (3 + 8 = 11). Since the sum creates 1 tens digit, we put the 1 in the tens column, and the 1 at the bottom of the ones:
| 1 | ||||||||
| 6 | 3 | |||||||
| + | 3 | 8 | ||||||
| 1 |
Then in our final step, we add the tens digits together (including the 1 from the previous step): 6 + 3 + 1 = 10 and put that sum at the bottom:
| 1 | ||||||||
| 6 | 3 | |||||||
| + | 3 | 8 | ||||||
| 1 | 0 | 1 |
And that is how you solve 63 plus 38 using the Long Addition Method! The answer is displayed mathematically below:
63 + 38 = 101
