What is 701 − 325?

701 − 325 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: 701 − 325

  • Ones: 1 is less than 5 — borrow 1 hundred across the zero: hundreds 7 → 6, tens 0 → 9; 11 − 5 = 6 — write 6.
  • Tens: after borrowing, 9; 9 − 2 = 7 — write 7.
  • Hundreds: after borrowing, 6; 6 − 3 = 3 — write 3.

701 − 325 = 376

Second check: 701 − 376 = 325
