Solution - Long subtraction
52
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 1 | 8 | 0 | |
| 6 | 4 | ||
| - | 6 | 4 | |
2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method
Because the upper digit (0) in the ones column is too small to get a positive difference, borrow 1 from the digit (8) in the next number place which becomes (7) and get (10).
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 7 | 10 | ||
| 1 | 8 | 0 | |
| 6 | 4 | ||
| - | 6 | 4 | |
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
10-4-4=2
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 7 | 10 | ||
| 1 | 8 | 0 | |
| 6 | 4 | ||
| - | 6 | 4 | |
| 2 |
Because the upper digit (7) 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 (17).
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 0 | 17 | ||
| 7 | 10 | ||
| 1 | 8 | 0 | |
| 6 | 4 | ||
| - | 6 | 4 | |
| 2 |
Subtract the numbers in the tens column from the top number:
17-6-6=5
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 0 | 17 | ||
| 7 | 10 | ||
| 1 | 8 | 0 | |
| 6 | 4 | ||
| - | 6 | 4 | |
| 5 | 2 |
Write 0 in the hundreds place.
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 0 | 17 | ||
| 7 | 10 | ||
| 1 | 8 | 0 | |
| 6 | 4 | ||
| - | 6 | 4 | |
| 0 | 5 | 2 |
The solution is: 52
