172

With regrouping: 1 borrow — from the hundreds

226 − 54 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)	2 (was 2, now 12)	6
	−		5	4
		1	7	2

Column by column: 226 − 54

Ones: 6 − 4 = 2 — write 2.
Tens: 2 is less than 5 — borrow 1 hundred: hundreds 2 → 1; 12 − 5 = 7 — write 7.
Hundreds: after borrowing, 1; nothing to subtract — write 1.

226 − 54 = 172
