?

Subtract column by column; start with the column on the right

Subtract the digits in the ones column:

7 - 8 = ?

The second digit is larger than the first.
Borrow from the next column to the left.

The borrowing is a two step process:


Subtract 1 from the top digit in the column of the tens: 5 - 1 = 4.
Cross out the top digit you've borrowed 1 from: 5.
Write the answer above that digit: 4.


When borrowing, 1 ten = 10 ones.
Add 10 to the top digit in the column of the ones: 10 + 7 = 17.

- 2868

     

After borrowing, the subtraction has become:
17 - 8 = 10 + 7 - 8 = 10 + 7 - 8 = 7 + (10 - 8) = 7 + 2 = 9.
9 is the ones digit.
Write it down at the base of the ones column.

Subtract the digits in the tens column:

5 4 - 6 = ?

The second digit is larger than the first.
Borrow from the next column to the left.

Subtract 1 from the top digit in the column of the hundreds: 7 - 1 = 6.
Cross out the top digit you've borrowed 1 from: 7.
Write the answer above that digit: 6.


When borrowing, 1 hundred = 10 tens.
Add 10 to the top digit in the column of the tens: 10 + 4 = 14.

    9

After borrowing, the subtraction has become:
14 - 6 = 10 + 4 - 6 = 10 + 4 - 6 = 4 + (10 - 6) = 4 + 4 = 8.
8 is the tens digit.
Write it down at the base of the tens column.

Subtract the digits in the hundreds column:

7 6 - 8 = ?

The second digit is larger than the first.
Borrow from the next column to the left.

Subtract 1 from the top digit in the column of the thousands: 3 - 1 = 2.
Cross out the top digit you've borrowed 1 from: 3.
Write the answer above that digit: 2.


When borrowing, 1 thousand = 10 hundreds.
Add 10 to the top digit in the column of the hundreds: 10 + 6 = 16.

- 2868

   89

After borrowing, the subtraction has become:
16 - 8 = 10 + 6 - 8 = 10 + 6 - 8 = 6 + (10 - 8) = 6 + 2 = 8.
8 is the hundreds digit.
Write it down at the base of the hundreds column.

 0889

Leading zeros

When leading zeros occupy the most significant digits of a natural number, they could be left blank and the numeric value stays the same:

0889 = 889

Final answer:
- 1,711 + 2,750 - 1,157 + 1,007 = 889

The operation to perform: 52 - 37

Method used below: column subtracting, from right to left (traditional)


  • Stack the numbers on top of each other.
    • The ones digits line up in the first column from the right.
    • The tens digits line up in the next column to the left.
    •  52
      - 37

      ?
  • Subtract column by column; start with the column on the right.
  • Subtract the digits in the ones column: 2 - 7 = ?
    • The second digit is larger than the first. We need to borrow from the next column to the left:
      • Subtract 1 from the top digit in the column of the tens: 5 - 1 = 4.
      • Cross out the top digit you've borrowed 1 from: 5.
      • Write the answer above that digit: 4.
      • When borrowing, 1 ten = 10 ones: add 10 to the top digit in the column of the ones: 10 + 2 = 12.
    •  4 
       512
      - 37

         
    • After borrowing, the subtraction has become: 12 - 7 = 5.
    • 5 is the ones digit - write it down at the base of the ones column:
      •  4 
         512
        - 37

          5
  • Subtract the digits in the tens column:
    • 5 4 - 3 = 1.
    • 1 is the tens digit - write it down at the base of the tens column.
    •  4
