    What is 261 − 89?

    Answer

    261 − 89 =
    172

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

    261 − 89 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.
    115+10
    2(was 2, now 1)6(was 6, now 15)1 (was 1, now 11)
    −89
    172

    Column by column: 261 − 89

    • Ones: 1 is less than 9 — borrow 1 ten: tens 6 → 5; 11 − 9 = 2 — write 2.
    • Tens: after borrowing, 5; 5 is less than 8 — borrow 1 hundred: hundreds 2 → 1; 15 − 8 = 7 — write 7.
    • Hundreds: after borrowing, 1; nothing to subtract — write 1.

    261 − 89 = 172

    Second check: 261 − 172 = 89
