Subtraction of 3-digit Numbers with Borrowing

Borrowing from Hundreds

Let us subtract 172 from 324.

Step 1: Subtract the ones digits.

4 – 2 = 2 ones. Write 2 in ones column.

Step 2: Check the tens digits.

2 < 7, so we borrow 1 hundred from 3 hundreds.

1 hundred = 10 tens.
10 tens + 2 tens = 12 tens.

Step 3: Change the hundreds digit from 3 to 2. H T O

Step 4: Now, subtract the tens digits. 2 12

12 – 7 = 5 3 2 4

Write 5 in tens column. – 1 7 2

Step 5: Now, subtract the hundreds digits. 1 5 2

2 – 1 = 1
Write 1 in hundreds column.
