    What is 301 − 98?

    Answer

    301 − 98 =
    203

    With regrouping across a zero: 2 borrows — there are no tens to borrow from, so 1 hundred becomes 10 tens, and 1 ten goes to the ones

    301 − 98 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.
    29+10
    3(was 3, now 2)0(was 0, now 9)1 (was 1, now 11)
    −98
    203

    Column by column: 301 − 98

    • Ones: 1 is less than 8 — borrow 1 hundred across the zero: hundreds 3 → 2, tens 0 → 9; 11 − 8 = 3 — write 3.
    • Tens: after borrowing, 9; 9 − 9 = 0 — write 0.
    • Hundreds: after borrowing, 2; nothing to subtract — write 2.

    301 − 98 = 203

    Second check: 301 − 203 = 98

    FAQ

    What is 301 − 98?

    301 − 98 = 203

    How do you check that 301 − 98 = 203?

    Add the difference and the subtrahend: 203 + 98 = 301. Getting the minuend back means the difference is right.

    How many times do you borrow in 301 − 98?

    2 borrows: each time the top digit was smaller than the one below it, 1 was borrowed from the column on the left.

    Why does 0 become 9 when borrowing in 301 − 98?

    The zero has nothing to lend, so it first borrows 1 from its left neighbour and becomes 10; then it lends 1 to the column on its right and keeps 9.
