Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Solve

00:03 Each time we consider subtraction of 2 digits, and then we substitute

00:06 3 is less than 7

00:09 Therefore we subtract 1 from the tens and add this amount to the ones

00:14 So now instead of 3 we will have 13

00:19 We subtract the ones from the ones plus ten

00:23 We place in the ones

00:26 We place 0 in the missing digits

00:29 We subtract tens from tens, and place in tens

00:33 We subtract hundreds from hundreds, and place in hundreds

00:37 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

To subtract $7$ from $833$ , follow these steps:

Start at the ones column: subtract $7$ from $3$ . Since $3$ is smaller than $7$ , we need to borrow from the tens column.
Regroup: Change the $3$ in the tens column to $2$ (since we borrow one group of ten) and add $10$ to the ones place turning $3$ into $13$ .
Subtract again in the ones place: $13 - 7 = 6$ .
Move to the tens column. Now that it’s $2$ , proceed to subtract: $2 - 0 = 2$ (since there's no borrowing needed from the hundreds place).
In the hundreds column, subtract: $8 - 0 = 8$ (since no borrowing from any higher place value is needed).

Therefore, the complete difference is $\mathbf{826}$ .
