With regrouping: 2 borrows — from the tens and the hundreds

116 − 47 in a column. Above the columns: the values after borrowing — a crossed-out digit is replaced by the number above it; +10 marks a column that received a borrowed ten.
		0	10	+10
		1(was 1, now 0)	1(was 1, now 10)	6 (was 6, now 16)
	−		4	7

Ones: 6 is less than 7 — borrow 1 ten: tens 1 → 0; 16 − 7 = 9 — write 9.
Tens: after borrowing, 0; 0 is less than 4 — borrow 1 hundred: hundreds 1 → 0; 10 − 4 = 6 — write 6.
Hundreds: after borrowing, 0 — a leading zero is not written.
