Vertical Subtraction with Borrowing–IV

(Subtraction of 2-digit and 1-digit numbers

from 3-digit numbers)

Subtract 55 from 273

This is written as 273 – 055.

Step 1: Read ones column. 3 – 5.

But 5 > 3. So 5 cannot be subtracted from 3. H T O
We borrow 1 ten from tens place.

6 13
Now 1 ten + 3 ones = 13 ones.
2 7 3
We cross out 3 and write 13.

Also we cross out 7 and write 6. – 0 5 5

Now, 13 – 5 = 8. We write 8 in ones column.
2 1 8
Step 2: Read tens column. 6 – 5

6 – 5 = 1. We write 1 in tens column.

Step 3: Read hundreds column. 2 – 0.
2 – 0 = 2. We write 2 in hundreds column.

Subtract 5 from 423

This is written as 423 – 005.
Step 1: Read ones column. 3 – 5.

But 5 > 3. So 5 cannot be subtracted from 3.

We borrow 1 ten from tens place.

Now 1 ten + 3 ones = 13 ones.

We cross out 3 and write 13.
H T O
Also we cross out 2 and write 1.

Now, 13 – 5 = 8. We write 8 in ones column. 1 13

Step 2: Read tens column. 1 – 0
4 2 3
1 – 0 = 1. We write 1 in tens column.
– 0 0 5
Step 3: Read hundreds column. 4 – 0.

4 – 0 = 4. We write 4 in hundreds column. 4 1 8
