Solution - Long subtraction
68
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
| Place value | tens | ones |
| 8 | 2 | |
| 4 | ||
| - | 1 | 0 |
2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method
Because the upper digit (2) 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 (12).
| Place value | tens | ones |
| 7 | 12 | |
| 8 | 2 | |
| 4 | ||
| - | 1 | 0 |
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
12-4-0=8
| Place value | tens | ones |
| 7 | 12 | |
| 8 | 2 | |
| 4 | ||
| - | 1 | 0 |
| 8 |
Subtract the numbers in the tens column from the top number:
7-1=6
| Place value | tens | ones |
| 7 | 12 | |
| 8 | 2 | |
| 4 | ||
| - | 1 | 0 |
| 6 | 8 |
The solution is: 68
