    What is 243 − 71?

    Answer

    243 − 71 =
    172

    With regrouping: 1 borrow — from the hundreds

    243 − 71 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)4 (was 4, now 14)3
    −71
    172

    Column by column: 243 − 71

    • Ones: 3 − 1 = 2 — write 2.
    • Tens: 4 is less than 7 — borrow 1 hundred: hundreds 2 → 1; 14 − 7 = 7 — write 7.
    • Hundreds: after borrowing, 1; nothing to subtract — write 1.

    243 − 71 = 172

    Second check: 243 − 172 = 71
