    1. x2x

    +x. 4x7

    5.036 (sorry the underline function is no longer available)

    In the thousandth column we have x + 7 and we wind up with a 6 in that column.

    Since 7 is already more than 6 that means the only number that will work is 9 and there will be a carry of one into the hundredths place.

    1. x29

    +x. 4x7

    5.036

    Now let's look at the tenths column. 2 becomes 3 in the answer and there was a carry of 1 from the thousandths so the other number must be a zero

    1. x29

    + x. 407

    5.036 Now I need a number that goes with 4 and puts a zero in the answer.

    That number has to be 6 and does cause a carry of one into the ones

    place

    1.629

    +x. 407

    5.036

    Finally (remembering there is a carry of one in the ones place) I have two (1 + 1 carried) toward my five in the answer. I need three more.

    Here is the final example:

    1.629

    +3.407

    5.036
