    What is 128 − 39?

    Answer

    128 − 39 =
    89

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

    128 − 39 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.

    1(was 1, now 0)2(was 2, now 11)8 (was 8, now 18)
    −39
    89

    Column by column: 128 − 39

    • Ones: 8 is less than 9 — borrow 1 ten: tens 2 → 1; 18 − 9 = 9 — write 9.
    • Tens: after borrowing, 1; 1 is less than 3 — borrow 1 hundred: hundreds 1 → 0; 11 − 3 = 8 — write 8.
    • Hundreds: after borrowing, 0 — a leading zero is not written.

    128 − 39 = 89

    Second check: 128 − 89 = 39
