Example : Subtract 345 from 832.

H T O
Step 1 : Arrange the numbers
8 3 2
in their places.
– 3 4 5

Step 2 : At ones place, 2 < 5. So, borrow 1

ten from tens place and add to 2,

then subtract 5. H T O
2 12
(1 ten + 2 ones) – 5 ones 8 3 2

(10 + 2) – 5 – 3 4 5

12 – 5 = 7 7

We write 7 in ones place.

Step 3 : At tens place the digit remains 2. 4 cannot be

subtracted from 2. So, borrow 1 hundred from

H T O hundreds place and add to 2, then subtract 4.
7 12 12
8 3 2 (1 hundred + 2 tens) – 4 tens

– 3 4 5 (10 tens + 2 tens) – 4 tens

8 7 12 tens – 4 tens = 8 tens

We write 8 at tens place.

H T O
Step 4 : At hundreds place, the digit remains 7.
7 12 12
Subtract 3 from it and write at hundreds 8 3 2

place. – 3 4 5

Therefore, 832 – 345 = 487 4 8 7
