Step 1:

Let us consider subtraction of two 2digit numbers 36 from 62 .

Step 2:

Now, split the values 62 and 36 as follows

6 / 2

3 / 6

Step 3:

Now, perform simple subtraction between the numbers written splitted

  6 / 2

- 3 / 6

--------

3 / (-4)

Step 4:

As we get negative result, we are in need to add 10 with the second digit and subtract 1 with the first digit obtained after subraction.

3 / (-4)

(3-1) / (10-4)

------------

2 / 6

Let us view another example for subtracting two digit numbers

Example 2:

Step 1:

Select any two 2 digit numbers for example 43 and 26.

Step 2:

Subtract '3' from '6' and deduct '4' with '2'.Then write the solutions in their respective place.

4 / 3

2 / 6

--------

2 / (-3)

Step 3:

Now pick '2' and subtract 1 from it since the second digit is negative value. Choose (-3) and add '10' to it (10 - 3).

2 / (-3)

(2-1) / (10-3)

-------

1 / 7

Step 4:

The final solution obtained is 17.
