Three digit subtraction with zeroes

The result is a positive integer, which is the difference between the two numbers.

When subtracting, if a digit in the minuend (the number being subtracted from) is smaller than the corresponding digit in the subtrahend (the number being subtracted), you need to borrow from the next left digit.

Borrowing involves taking 1 from the next left digit, which increases the current digit by 10, allowing for the subtraction to be performed.

The difference is 138.

The difference is 468.

The difference is 202.

The difference is 789.

The difference is 547.

Place value helps determine which digits to subtract and whether to borrow from the next digit.

You can check your answer by adding the difference to the subtrahend; if it equals the minuend, your answer is correct.
