Solution - Long subtraction
270
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 6 | 5 | 2 | |
| - | 3 | 8 | 2 |
2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
2-2=0
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 6 | 5 | 2 | |
| - | 3 | 8 | 2 |
| 0 |
Because the upper digit (5) in the tens column is too small to get a positive difference, borrow 1 from the digit (6) in the next number place which becomes (5) and get (15).
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 5 | 15 | ||
| 6 | 5 | 2 | |
| - | 3 | 8 | 2 |
| 0 |
Subtract the numbers in the tens column from the top number:
15-8=7
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 5 | 15 | ||
| 6 | 5 | 2 | |
| - | 3 | 8 | 2 |
| 7 | 0 |
Subtract the numbers in the hundreds column from the top number:
5-3=2
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 5 | 15 | ||
| 6 | 5 | 2 | |
| - | 3 | 8 | 2 |
| 2 | 7 | 0 |
The solution is: 270
