57,513
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
| Place value | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 5 | 7 | 5 | 7 | 1 | |
| - | 5 | 8 | |||
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 digit (7) in the next number place which becomes (6) and get (11).
| Place value | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 6 | 11 | ||||
| 5 | 7 | 5 | 7 | 1 | |
| - | 5 | 8 | |||
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
11-8=3
| Place value | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 6 | 11 | ||||
| 5 | 7 | 5 | 7 | 1 | |
| - | 5 | 8 | |||
| 3 |
Subtract the numbers in the tens column from the top number:
6-5=1
| Place value | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 6 | 11 | ||||
| 5 | 7 | 5 | 7 | 1 | |
| - | 5 | 8 | |||
| 1 | 3 |
Write 5 in the hundreds place.
| Place value | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
