79,999,998
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
| Place value | ten millions | millions | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 8 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 | |
| - | 5 | |||||||
2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method
Because the upper digit (3) in the ones column is too small to get a positive difference, borrow 1 from the number to the left (8,000,000) which becomes (7,999,999) and get (13).
| Place value | ten millions | millions | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 7 | 9 | 9 | 9 | 9 | 9 | 9 | 13 | |
| 8 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 | |
| - | 5 | |||||||
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
13-5=8
| Place value | ten millions | millions | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 7 | 9 | 9 | 9 | 9 | 9 | 9 | 13 | |
| 8 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 | |
