Solution - Long subtraction
78
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 1 | 0 | 1 | |
| - | 2 | 3 | |
2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method
Because the upper digit (1) in the ones column is too small to get a positive difference, borrow 1 from the number to the left (10) which becomes (09) and get (11).
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 0 | 9 | 11 | |
| 1 | 0 | 1 | |
| - | 2 | 3 | |
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
11-3=8
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 0 | 9 | 11 | |
| 1 | 0 | 1 | |
| - | 2 | 3 | |
| 8 |
Subtract the numbers in the tens column from the top number:
9-2=7
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 0 | 9 | 11 | |
| 1 | 0 | 1 | |
| - | 2 | 3 | |
| 7 | 8 |
Write 0 in the hundreds place.
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 0 | 9 | 11 | |
| 1 | 0 | 1 | |
| - | 2 | 3 | |
| 0 | 7 | 8 |
The solution is: 78
