Subtraction 5
Final example with zeroes:
- h t u
- 5 0 0
- 1 7 9
We cannot do 0 take away 9 but there's nothing to borrow from.
We need to make something to borrow from in the tens column.
First we borrow from the 5 to make this:
- h t u
- 4 10 0
- 1 7 9
Now we can borrow from the ten:
- h t u
- 4 9 10
- 1 7 9
- 3 2 1
Here is my real version!
