    What is 278 − 39?

    Answer

    278 − 39 =
    239

    With regrouping: 1 borrow — from the tens

    278 − 39 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.
    6+10
    2 7(was 7, now 6)8 (was 8, now 18)
    −39
    239

    Column by column: 278 − 39

    • Ones: 8 is less than 9 — borrow 1 ten: tens 7 → 6; 18 − 9 = 9 — write 9.
    • Tens: after borrowing, 6; 6 − 3 = 3 — write 3.
    • Hundreds: nothing to subtract — write 2.

    278 − 39 = 239

    Second check: 278 − 239 = 39
