Solve Vertical Subtraction: 62 minus 37 Step-by-Step

$\begin{aligned} &62 \\ -& \\ &37 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned}$

To solve this subtraction problem, we will follow these steps:

• Step 1: Set up the subtraction vertically.

• Step 2: Subtract the numbers in the ones column.

• Step 3: If needed, borrow from the tens column.

• Step 4: Subtract the numbers in the tens column.

Let's work through each step:

Step 1: Set up the subtraction vertically:
$62$
$-$
$37$
$\underline{\phantom{64562}}$

Step 2: Subtract the numbers in the ones column.
We have $2$ in the ones position on the top number and $7$ on the bottom number. Since $2$ is less than $7$, we need to borrow 1 from the tens place of the top number.

After borrowing, the $6$ in the tens place becomes $5$, and we add $10$ to the ones place, transforming $2$ into $12$. Now, subtract $7$ from $12$:
$12$
$-7$
$\underline{5}$

Step 3: Subtract the tens column. Now, after borrowing, we have $5$ (since $6 - 1 = 5$) in the tens position, minus $3$ from the tens place of the bottom number:
$5$
$-3$
$\underline{2}$

Step 4: The final result is obtained by putting together these results. The subtraction yields:
$25$

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $\textbf{25}$.
