    What is 203 − 98?

    Answer

    203 − 98 =
    105

    With regrouping across a zero: 2 borrows — there are no tens to borrow from, so 1 hundred becomes 10 tens, and 1 ten goes to the ones

    203 − 98 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.
    19+10
    2(was 2, now 1)0(was 0, now 9)3 (was 3, now 13)
    −98
    105

    Column by column: 203 − 98

    • Ones: 3 is less than 8 — borrow 1 hundred across the zero: hundreds 2 → 1, tens 0 → 9; 13 − 8 = 5 — write 5.
    • Tens: after borrowing, 9; 9 − 9 = 0 — write 0.
    • Hundreds: after borrowing, 1; nothing to subtract — write 1.

    203 − 98 = 105

    Second check: 203 − 105 = 98

    FAQ

    What is 203 − 98?

    203 − 98 = 105

    How do you check that 203 − 98 = 105?

    Add the difference and the subtrahend: 105 + 98 = 203. Getting the minuend back means the difference is right.

    How many times do you borrow in 203 − 98?

    2 borrows: each time the top digit was smaller than the one below it, 1 was borrowed from the column on the left.

    Why does 0 become 9 when borrowing in 203 − 98?

    The zero has nothing to lend, so it first borrows 1 from its left neighbour and becomes 10; then it lends 1 to the column on its right and keeps 9.
