    What is 53 − 17?

    Answer

    53 − 17 =
    36

    With regrouping: 1 borrow — from the tens

    53 − 17 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)3 (was 3, now 13)
    −17
    36

    Column by column: 53 − 17

    • Ones: 3 is less than 7 — borrow 1 ten: tens 5 → 4; 13 − 7 = 6 — write 6.
    • Tens: after borrowing, 4; 4 − 1 = 3 — write 3.

    53 − 17 = 36

    Second check: 53 − 36 = 17
