How to calculate 3 minus 83


Long Subtraction

Here we will show you step-by-step how to calculate 3 minus 83 using the long subtraction method.

Before we continue, note that 3 is called the minuend and 83 is called the subtrahend.

To solve the problem 3 minus 83 using long subtraction, we first put the largest number on top and the smallest number at the bottom like this:

              8 3
      -       0 3
                 

Then you subtract the ones digits (3 - 3 = 0) like this:

              8 3
      -       0 3
                0

Next you subtract the tens digits (8 - 0 = 8) like this:

              8 3
      -       0 3
              8 0

Note that since the minuend is smaller than the subtrahend, the answer is a negative number.

And that's it. The problem with the answer is displayed below:

3 - 83 = -80
