Subtraction of 3-Digit Numbers with Regrouping

Subtraction of 3-digit numbers with regrouping  are explained here with examples.

As you borrow from the tens column, you can borrow from the hundreds column also.

REMEMBER:

1 ten = 10 ones

1 hundred = 10 tens

Solved Examples on Subtraction of 3-Digit Numbers with Regrouping:

1. Subtract 674 - 458

Step I: Arrange the numbers vertically.

Step II: Subtract the ones column. Since, 8 > 4 and we cannot subtract 8 from 4. So, we regroup 7 tens and 4 ones. Now, 7 tens + 4 ones = 6 tens and 14 ones. 14 – 8 = 6 ones

Step III: Subtract the tens column. 6 – 5 = 1 tens

Step IV: Subtract the hundreds column. 6 – 4 = 2 hundreds.
Subtraction of 3-Digit Numbers with Regrouping

Thus, 674 – 458 = 216


2. Subtract 747 - 489.

Step I: Arrange the numbers vertically.

Step II: Subtract the ones column. Since, 9 > 7 and we cannot subtract 9 from 7. So, we regroup 4 tens and 7ones. Now, 4 tens + 7 ones = 3 tens and 17 ones. 17 – 9 = 8 ones

Step III: Subtract the tens column. Since, 1 ten is regrouped by ones column, so we are left with 4 – 1 = 3 tens. We cannot subtract 8 from 3. So, we regroup 7 hundreds and 3 tens. Now, 7 hundreds + 3 tens = 6 hundreds and 13 tens.  13 – 8 = 5 tens

Step IV: Subtract the hundreds column. 6 – 4 = 2 hundreds.
Subtracting of 3-Digit Numbers with Regrouping

Thus, 747 - 489 = 258


3. Let us subtract 256 from 384.

Write the numbers one below the other as shown.

3-Digit Number Subtraction with Regrouping

Step I: Subtract the ones.

But 6 ones cannot be taken away from 4 ones.

So, borrow 1 ten from 8 tens.

7 tens remain in place of 8 tens.

Cross out 8 and write 7.

Regroup: 1 ten (borrowed) with 4 ones = 14 ones

14 ones - 6 ones = 8 ones

Write 8 in the ones place.


Step II: Subtract the tens.

7 tens (remaining) - 5 tens = 2 tens

Write 2 in the tens place.


Step III: Subtract the hundreds.

3 hundreds 2 hundreds = 1 hundred

Write 1 in the hundreds place.

The difference is 128.


4. Let us subtract 173 from 649.

Write the numbers one below the other as shown.

3-Digit Subtraction with Regrouping

Step I: Subtract the ones.

9 ones - 3 ones = 6 ones

Write 6 in the ones place.


Step II: Subtract the tens.

But 7 tens cannot be taken away from 4 tens.

So, borrow 1 hundred from 6 hundreds.

5 hundreds remain in place of 6 hundreds.

Cross out 6 and write 5.

Regroup: 1 hundred (borrowed) with 4 tens = 14 tens

14 tens -7 tens = 7 tens

Write 7 in the tens place.


Step III: Subtract the hundreds.

5 hundreds (remaining) - 1 hundred = 4 hundreds

Write 4 in the hundreds place.


The difference is 476.


5. Let us subtract 245 from 732.

Here we need to regroup twice.

Write the numbers one below the other as shown.

3-Digit Subtraction with Regroup Twice

Step I: Subtract the ones.

But 5 ones cannot be taken away from 2 ones.

So, borrow 1 ten from 3 tens.

2 tens remain in place of 3 tens.

Cross out 3 and write 2.

Regroup: 1 ten (borrowed) with 2 ones = 12 ones

12 ones - 5 ones = 7 ones

Write 7 in the ones place.


Step II: Subtract the tens.

But 4 tens cannot be taken away from 2 tens (remaining).

So, borrow 1 hundred from 7 hundreds.

6 hundreds remain in place of 7 hundreds.

Cross out 7 and write 6.

Regroup: 1 hundred (borrowed) with 2 tens (remaining) = 12 tens

12 tens - 4 tens = 8 tens

Write 8 in the tens place.


Step III: Subtract the hundreds.

6 hundreds (remaining) - 2 hundreds = 4 hundreds

Write 4 in the hundreds place.


The difference is 487.


Word Problems on Subtraction of 3-Digit Numbers with Regrouping:

6.  There are 705 birds living in the garden. During winters, 438 flew away. How many birds were left in the garden?

Solution:

Birds in the garden = 705

Birds flew away during winters = 438         


7. There are 600 flowers in Toby's garden and 256 flowers in Ehsan's garden. How many more flowers are there in Toby's garden?

Solution:

We have to subtract 256 from 600.

Subtract OnesSubtract Ones

Step I:

First borrow 1 hundred for tens column.

Now, we have 10 tens.

Again borrow 1 ten for ones column.

Now, we have 10 ones.

10 - 6 = 4 ones.

Write 4 in ones place.

Subtract TensSubtract Tens



Step II:

Now, subtract the tens.

9 - 5 = 4

Write 4 in tens place.

Subtract HundredsSubtract Hundreds



Step III:

Subtract the hundreds.

5 - 2 = 3

Write 3 in hundreds place.

Thus, there are 344 more flowers in Toby's garden.
