Solution - Long subtraction
0.367
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths | thousandths |
| 0 | . | 5 | 7 | 3 | |
| - | 0 | . | 2 | 0 | 6 |
| . |
2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method
Because the upper digit (3) in the thousandths column is too small to get a positive difference, borrow 1 from the digit (7) in the next number place which becomes (6) and get (13).
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths | thousandths |
| 6 | 13 | ||||
| 0 | . | 5 | 7 | 3 | |
| - | 0 | . | 2 | 0 | 6 |
| . |
Subtract the numbers in the thousandths column from the top number:
13-6=7
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths | thousandths |
| 6 | 13 | ||||
| 0 | . | 5 | 7 | 3 | |
| - | 0 | . | 2 | 0 | 6 |
| . | 7 |
Subtract the numbers in the hundredths column from the top number:
6-0=6
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths | thousandths |
| 6 | 13 | ||||
| 0 | . | 5 | 7 | 3 | |
| - | 0 | . | 2 | 0 | 6 |
| . | 6 | 7 |
Subtract the numbers in the tenths column from the top number:
5-2=3
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths | thousandths |
| 6 | 13 | ||||
| 0 | . | 5 | 7 | 3 | |
| - | 0 | . | 2 | 0 | 6 |
| . | 3 | 6 | 7 |
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
0-0=0
| Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths | thousandths |
| 6 | 13 | ||||
| 0 | . | 5 | 7 | 3 | |
| - | 0 | . | 2 | 0 | 6 |
| 0 | . | 3 | 6 | 7 |
The solution is: 0.367
