705 − 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: 705 − 58

  • Ones: 5 is less than 8 — borrow 1 hundred across the zero: hundreds 7 → 6, tens 0 → 9; 15 − 8 = 7 — write 7.
  • Tens: after borrowing, 9; 9 − 5 = 4 — write 4.
  • Hundreds: after borrowing, 6; nothing to subtract — write 6.

705 − 58 = 647

Second check: 705 − 647 = 58
