Subtract 6 from 578: Vertical Format Arithmetic Problem

$\begin{aligned} &578 \\ -& \\ &~~~~6 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned}$

Let's solve this subtraction problem step-by-step:

• Step 1: Align the numbers vertically by place value, ensuring units are aligned under units.
• Step 2: Start subtraction from the rightmost column (units column). Here, subtract 6 from 8 in the units place: $8 - 6 = 2$.
• Step 3: Since we have dealt with the units place, move one step to the left to the tens place. Here, subtract 0 (since nothing is being subtracted from this place after borrowing) from 7 in the tens place: $7 - 0 = 7$.
• Step 4: Finally, move to the hundreds place. Subtract 0 from 5 (again, no borrowing affects this place): $5 - 0 = 5$.

After completing the steps, the subtraction gives us the result.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $572$.
