Handling large numbers can seem daunting, but with a systematic approach, adding and subtracting whole numbers up to the billions can be straightforward. Let's break down the process step by step.

Billionaire Basics: How to Master Addition and Subtraction of Massive Whole Numbers

Adding and Subtracting Whole Numbers Up to the Billions

Example 1:

Adding Large Numbers

Add \(3,456,789,012\) and \(1,234,567,890\).

Solution Process:

1. Start by aligning the numbers by place value.

2. Add the numbers column by column, starting from the rightmost column (ones place).

3. If the sum in any column is \(10\) or more, carry over the extra value to the next column on the left.

  3,456,789,012

+ 1,234,567,890

_______________

  4,691,356,902
