    What is 51 − 15?

    Answer

    51 − 15 =
    36

    With regrouping: 1 borrow — from the tens

    51 − 15 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.
    4+10
    5(was 5, now 4)1 (was 1, now 11)
    −15
    36

    Column by column: 51 − 15

    • Ones: 1 is less than 5 — borrow 1 ten: tens 5 → 4; 11 − 5 = 6 — write 6.
    • Tens: after borrowing, 4; 4 − 1 = 3 — write 3.

    51 − 15 = 36

    Second check: 51 − 36 = 15
