What is 801 − 348?

801 − 348 =

801 − 348 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: 801 − 348

  • Ones: 1 is less than 8 — borrow 1 hundred across the zero: hundreds 8 → 7, tens 0 → 9; 11 − 8 = 3 — write 3.
  • Tens: after borrowing, 9; 9 − 4 = 5 — write 5.
  • Hundreds: after borrowing, 7; 7 − 3 = 4 — write 4.

801 − 348 = 453

Second check: 801 − 453 = 348
