What is 406 − 58?

Answer

406 − 58 =
348

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

406 − 58 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.

Column by column: 406 − 58

  • Ones: 6 is less than 8 — borrow 1 hundred across the zero: hundreds 4 → 3, tens 0 → 9; 16 − 8 = 8 — write 8.
  • Tens: after borrowing, 9; 9 − 5 = 4 — write 4.
  • Hundreds: after borrowing, 3; nothing to subtract — write 3.

406 − 58 = 348

Second check: 406 − 348 = 58
