Part 2 of 4

Key concepts

3 concepts

  1. 1

    When subtracting 25 from 83, you can't subtract 5 ones from 3 ones, so you need to regroup.

  2. 2

    Regrouping means taking 10 from the tens place and adding it to the ones place to make a larger number to subtract from.

  3. 3

    After regrouping, 83 becomes 7 tens and 13 ones, allowing you to subtract 25 and get the answer 58.
