    Column by column: 1,261 − 578

    • Ones: 1 is less than 8 — borrow 1 ten: tens 6 → 5; 11 − 8 = 3 — write 3.
    • Tens: after borrowing, 5; 5 is less than 7 — borrow 1 hundred: hundreds 2 → 1; 15 − 7 = 8 — write 8.
    • Hundreds: after borrowing, 1; 1 is less than 5 — borrow 1 thousand: thousands 1 → 0; 11 − 5 = 6 — write 6.
    • Thousands: after borrowing, 0 — a leading zero is not written.

    1,261 − 578 = 683

    Second check: 1,261 − 683 = 578
