To solve this problem, we will subtract using the vertical subtraction method:
After following these steps, we find the result of the subtraction:
Therefore, the solution to the problem is .
362
\( \begin{aligned} &105 \\ -& \\ &~~~~3 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned} \)
Aligning from the right ensures that place values match correctly - ones with ones, tens with tens. This prevents mistakes like subtracting from the wrong column!
When there's no digit to subtract (like the tens and hundreds columns here), simply bring down the digit from the minuend. It's like subtracting zero!
Use addition to check! Add your answer to the subtrahend: . If you get the original minuend (367), your answer is correct.
Always work from right to left in vertical subtraction! This follows place value order and prepares you for borrowing in more complex problems.
You can solve it the same way! Just rewrite it vertically with proper alignment, then follow the same steps. The answer will be identical.
