Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we will subtract using the vertical subtraction method:

Step 1: Write the numbers vertically aligned by the right, with the larger number on top:
$\begin{array}{c} 367 \\ - \phantom{3}5 \\ \hline \end{array}$
Step 2: Subtract the rightmost column. Here, we have $7 - 5 = 2$ .
Write $2$ below the line.
Step 3: Move to the next column on the left. The next column is $6$ , and since there is nothing to subtract in this position, bring down the $6$ .
Step 4: Move to the leftmost column. The leftmost column is $3$ , and similarly, bring down the $3$ since there is nothing to subtract in this column.

After following these steps, we find the result of the subtraction:

$367 - 5 = 362$

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $362$ .
