Calculate the Difference: 819 minus 27 in Vertical Format

$\begin{aligned} &819 \\ -& \\ &~~27 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned}$

To solve the subtraction problem $819 - 27$, we will check each digit from right to left, performing the necessary operations for subtraction:

• Units place: Subtract 7 from 9. Since 9 is larger than 7, the result is 2.
• Tens place: Subtract 2 from 1. Here, 1 is less than 2, so we need to borrow 1 from the hundreds place. This converts the tens place 1 into 11.
• After borrowing, subtract 2 from 11, resulting in 9.
• Hundreds place: Since we borrowed from 8, it becomes 7.

Finally, putting these values together gives us the result: $792$.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $792$.
