What is 803 − 376?

Answer

803 − 376 =
427

With regrouping across a zero: 2 borrows — there are no tens to borrow from, so 1 hundred becomes 10 tens, and 1 ten goes to the ones

803 − 376 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: 803 − 376

  • Ones: 3 is less than 6 — borrow 1 hundred across the zero: hundreds 8 → 7, tens 0 → 9; 13 − 6 = 7 — write 7.
  • Tens: after borrowing, 9; 9 − 7 = 2 — write 2.
  • Hundreds: after borrowing, 7; 7 − 3 = 4 — write 4.

803 − 376 = 427

Second check: 803 − 427 = 376
