Answer 1

To find the difference between 593 and 41 using only digits, we line them up by their place values.

  593
-  41

Now, we align them on the right:

  593
- 041

Next, we subtract starting from the rightmost column:

1. In the ones place: 3 - 1 = 2
2. In the tens place: 9 - 4 = 5
3. In the hundreds place: 5 - 0 = 5

So, the answer is:

  593
- 041
------
  552

Therefore, using only digits, we were able to find our answer of 552.

In summary:

• We line them up by place value.
• We lined them up on the right.
• The answer is 552.
