Double Digit Subtraction

Without Borrowing

When we subtract two digit numbers, we have to follow some rules. Let

us look at these rules.

Example : Subtraction : 64 – 32
T O First, subtract

the ones.
6 4
Then, subtract
– 3 2
the tens.

T O

6 4 The difference

– 3 2 is 32.

3 2

Now, look at the following.

Step 1 : Subtract the ones.

4 ones – 2 ones = 2 ones

Write 2 in the ones column.

Step 2 : Subtract the tens.

6 tens – 3 tens = 3

Write 3 in the tens column.

Therefore, 64 – 32 = 32.
