    What is 56 − 17?

    Answer

    56 − 17 =
    39

    With regrouping: 1 borrow — from the tens

    56 − 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)6 (was 6, now 16)
    −17
    39

    Column by column: 56 − 17

    • Ones: 6 is less than 7 — borrow 1 ten: tens 5 → 4; 16 − 7 = 9 — write 9.
    • Tens: after borrowing, 4; 4 − 1 = 3 — write 3.

    56 − 17 = 39

    Second check: 56 − 39 = 17
