Solution - Long subtraction
128
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 1 | 4 | 5 | |
| 4 | |||
| - | 1 | 3 | |
2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method
Because the upper digit (5) 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 (15).
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 3 | 15 | ||
| 1 | 4 | 5 | |
| 4 | |||
| - | 1 | 3 | |
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
15-4-3=8
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 3 | 15 | ||
| 1 | 4 | 5 | |
| 4 | |||
| - | 1 | 3 | |
| 8 |
Subtract the numbers in the tens column from the top number:
3-1=2
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 3 | 15 | ||
| 1 | 4 | 5 | |
| 4 | |||
| - | 1 | 3 | |
| 2 | 8 |
Write 1 in the hundreds place.
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 3 | 15 | ||
| 1 | 4 | 5 | |
| 4 | |||
| - | 1 | 3 | |
| 1 | 2 | 8 |
The solution is: 128
