Perform the following subtraction using regrouping: 12365 - 992

Enter two numbers below:

Perform the following regrouping:
12365 - 992:

Line up our numbers vertically.

	1	2	3	6	5
_			9	9	2

	1	2	3	6	5
_			9	9	2
					3

Column 1 (ones column): 5 - 2 = 3

				16
	1	2	3	6	5
_			9	9	2
				7	3

Column 2: 6 - 9 is < 0,
Borrow 10 tens from the hundreds column.
Column 2 (tens column): 10 + 6 = 16
Column 2 (tens column): 16 - 9 = 7

			12	16
	1	2	3	6	5
_			9	9	2
			3	7	3

Column 3: 3 - 9 is <= 0, and we needed to borrow on the last column.
Therefore, we need to subtract 1 for the borrow in the previous column, and then add 10 for another borrow for this column. Total borrowing is 10 - 1 = 9.
Column 3: 9 + 3 - 9 = 3
Borrow 10 hundreds from the thousands column.

		1	12	16
	1	2	3	6	5
_			9	9	2
		1	3	7	3

Column 4: 2 - 0 is >= 0
But we borrowed on the last column
We take it out of 2
Column 4 (thousands column): 2 - 1 = 1
Column 4 (thousands column): 1 - 0 = 1
Borrow 10 thousands from the ten-thousands column.

		1	12	16
	1	2	3	6	5
_			9	9	2
	1	1	3	7	3

Column 5 (ten-thousands column): 1 - 0 = 1
