What is 219 − 47?

Answer

219 − 47 =

172

With regrouping: 1 borrow — from the hundreds

219 − 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.
		1	+10
		2(was 2, now 1)	1 (was 1, now 11)	9
	−		4	7
		1	7	2

Column by column: 219 − 47

Ones: 9 − 7 = 2 — write 2.
Tens: 1 is less than 4 — borrow 1 hundred: hundreds 2 → 1; 11 − 4 = 7 — write 7.
Hundreds: after borrowing, 1; nothing to subtract — write 1.

219 − 47 = 172

Second check: 219 − 172 = 47
