Subtraction of 2 Digit Numbers (With Borrowing)
Subtract 28 from 54
Step1. Place the number one below the other.
Step2. Subtract the ones
As 4 is smaller than 8, we cannot subtract 8 from 4. So, 1 ten is borrowed from the tens column.
Now, 1 ten = 10 ones, which means 10 ones + 4 ones = 14 ones.
We have 14 ones and we can subtract 8 ones from 14 ones.
14 ones – 8 ones = 6 ones
6 is written in the ones column of the answer
Step3. Subtract the tens
After borrowing 1 ten from tens column, we have 4 tens (5 -1=4 tens) in the tens column.
Now subtract the tens
4 tens – 2 tens = 2 tens
2 is written in the tens column of the answer
