107,040
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
| Place value | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 1 | 0 | 7 | 1 | 0 | 1 | |
| - | 6 | 1 | ||||
2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
1-1=0
| Place value | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 1 | 0 | 7 | 1 | 0 | 1 | |
| - | 6 | 1 | ||||
| 0 |
Because the upper digit (0) in the tens column is too small to get a positive difference, borrow 1 from the digit (1) in the next number place which becomes (0) and get (10).
