Solution - Long subtraction
36
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 1 | 4 | 4 | |
| - | 1 | 0 | 8 |
2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method
Because the upper digit (4) in the ones column is too small to get a positive difference, borrow 1 from the digit (4) in the next number place which becomes (3) and get (14).
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 3 | 14 | ||
| 1 | 4 | 4 | |
| - | 1 | 0 | 8 |
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
14-8=6
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 3 | 14 | ||
| 1 | 4 | 4 | |
| - | 1 | 0 | 8 |
| 6 |
Subtract the numbers in the tens column from the top number:
3-0=3
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 3 | 14 | ||
| 1 | 4 | 4 | |
| - | 1 | 0 | 8 |
| 3 | 6 |
Subtract the numbers in the hundreds column from the top number:
1-1=0
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 3 | 14 | ||
| 1 | 4 | 4 | |
| - | 1 | 0 | 8 |
| 0 | 3 | 6 |
The solution is: 36
