When a subtrahend digit, do not borrow from the minuend digit to its left; instead, carry ( add one ) to the subtrahend digit to its left . Here are some examples.

The first number ( 5 in the previous example ) is formally defined as the " minuend " and the second number ( 3 in the previous example ) as the " subtrahend ".

In this case, the minuend is effectively rewritten as, by taking a 100 from the hundreds, making ten 10s from it, and immediately borrowing that down to nine 10s in the tens column and finally placing a 10 in the ones column.
