Explain how to subtract 247 from 538.

538 -247

8-7=1 you cant do 3-4 so you borrow 10 numbers from 5 and got 13-4=9 4-2=2

For this case we have the following operation: 538 - 247 To subtract both numbers we must follow the following steps: ** 1) Subtraction is done from left to right: ** 2) We subtract the first digits: 8 - 7 = 1 3) We subtract the second digits: 3 - 4 Since 4 is greater than 3 then we add a digit to 3 and accumulate it for the next subtraction: 13 - 4 = 9 4) We subtract the digit accumulated in the previous subtraction to the following number: 5 - 2 - 1 = 2 ** Finally the result is:**
** 538 - 247 = 291**

To subtract 247 from 538, you align the numbers by place value and subtract each column, borrowing when necessary. The final result is 291. This process involves handling digits from right to left, making sure to borrow if the top digit is smaller than the bottom digit.
