Take input as a string. Chop of the last character, then convert string to number.

I assume you are putting your input to a textbox. So try this:

 Help with Code Tags 
 VB.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
        TextBox1.Text = InputBox("Enter number")
        TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text.Substring(0, TextBox1.Text.Length - 1)
        TextBox1.Text = InputBox("Enter number")
        TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text.Substring(0, TextBox1.Text.Length - 1)

You also could use the IsNumeric(TextboxName.Text) Then
TextboxName.Text.Length -1 as the other poster stated which will subtract the last number in the textbox
