In the next few minutes I am going to show you some amazing facts about digit regrouping subtraction in this math blog. By the end of this letter you will know exactly how you can teach your kids math subtraction with regrouping and subtraction borrowing.

 


As you know each digit of a number in our number system has a different place value (ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, etc)

Always subtract within the same place value column when subtracting numbers.

Step 2

First, subtract the ones

  Regrouping Subtraction

 

Subtract the bottom ones place digit from the top ones place digit (6-7).

 

Here, we need to regrouping the number to make the top value larger.

Regroup 1 tens into 10 ones, so that the 6 becomes 16.

16 ones – 7 ones = 9 ones.

The 9 is placed below the line in the ones place column.

 

Next, subtract the tens.

  Digit Regrouping Subtraction

  

The top tens place value becomes 0 after digit subtraction regrouping one tens from it.

 

Regroup 1 hundreds into 10 tens.

10 tens + 0 tens = 10 tens,

10 tens – 8 tens = 2 tens.

Then, subtract the hundreds

  Digit Subtraction

 

The top hundreds place value becomes 4 after digit subtraction regrouping one tens from it.

 

4 hundreds – 2 hundreds = 2 hundreds

 

Now, I am sure your must have absolutely confident with this digit regrouping subtraction to solve the problem which is 516 – 287 and get the answer of 229.
