Solution - Long subtraction
682
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 7 | 3 | 6 | |
| - | 5 | 4 | |
2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
6-4=2
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 7 | 3 | 6 | |
| - | 5 | 4 | |
| 2 |
Because the upper digit (3) in the tens 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 (13).
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 6 | 13 | ||
| 7 | 3 | 6 | |
| - | 5 | 4 | |
| 2 |
Subtract the numbers in the tens column from the top number:
13-5=8
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 6 | 13 | ||
| 7 | 3 | 6 | |
| - | 5 | 4 | |
| 8 | 2 |
Write 6 in the hundreds place.
| Place value | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 6 | 13 | ||
| 7 | 3 | 6 | |
| - | 5 | 4 | |
| 6 | 8 | 2 |
The solution is: 682
