Subtract the digits in the ones column:
2 - 9 = ?
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: 6 - 1 = 5.
Cross out the top digit you've borrowed 1 from: 6.
Write the answer above that digit: 5.
When borrowing, 1 ten = 10 ones.
Add 10 to the top digit in the column of the ones: 10 + 2 = 12.
After borrowing, the subtraction has become:
12 - 9 = 10 + 2 - 9 = 10 + 2 - 9 = 2 + (10 - 9) = 2 + 1 = 3.
3 is the ones digit.
Write it down at the base of the ones column.
Subtract the digits in the tens column:
6 5 - 9 = ?
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: 5 - 1 = 4.
Cross out the top digit you've borrowed 1 from: 5.
Write the answer above that digit: 4.
When borrowing, 1 hundred = 10 tens.
Add 10 to the top digit in the column of the tens: 10 + 5 = 15.
After borrowing, the subtraction has become:
15 - 9 = 10 + 5 - 9 = 10 + 5 - 9 = 5 + (10 - 9) = 5 + 1 = 6.
6 is the tens digit.
Write it down at the base of the tens column.
Subtract the digits in the hundreds column:
5 4 - 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: 8 - 1 = 7.
Cross out the top digit you've borrowed 1 from: 8.
Write the answer above that digit: 7.
When borrowing, 1 thousand = 10 hundreds.
Add 10 to the top digit in the column of the hundreds: 10 + 4 = 14.
After borrowing, the subtraction has become:
14 - 8 = 10 + 4 - 8 = 10 + 4 - 8 = 4 + (10 - 8) = 4 + 2 = 6.
6 is the hundreds digit.
Write it down at the base of the hundreds column.
Subtract the digits in the thousands column:
8 7 - 3 = 4.
4 is the thousands digit.
Write it down at the base of the thousands column.
