Solve Vertical Subtraction: 867 minus 42 Step-by-Step

Question

$\begin{aligned} &867\\ -& \\ &~~42 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned}$

00:00 Solve

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

00:06 We'll start by subtracting ones from ones, and place in ones

00:09 We subtract tens from tens, and place in tens

00:13 We place 0 in the missing digits

00:16 We subtract hundreds from hundreds, and place in hundreds

00:19 And this is the solution to the question

To solve this problem, we will perform vertical subtraction as follows:

Step 1: Write the numbers vertically and align digits by place value:
$867$
$-~~42$
Step 2: Start subtracting from the units place:
$7 - 2 = 5$
Step 3: Move to the tens place:
$6 - 4 = 2$
Step 4: Finally, subtract the hundreds place:
$8 - 0 = 8$ (nothing was borrowed here)

Putting it all together, the result of $867 - 42$ is $825$ .

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $825$ .
