🔢 Problem 1:

483 - 68

```
483
- 68
-----
```

- Start from the right: 3 - 8 → can't do, so borrow 1 from tens place.
- Tens digit is 8 → becomes 7; units digit becomes 13.
- 13 - 8 = 5
- Now: 7 - 6 = 1
- Hundreds: 4 remains unchanged

✔ Answer: 415

🔢 Problem 2:

585 - 89

```
585
- 89
-----
```

- Units: 5 - 9 → can't do → borrow from tens.
- Tens digit is 8 → becomes 7; units becomes 15.
- 15 - 9 = 6
- Tens: 7 - 8 → can't do → borrow from hundreds.
- Hundreds: 5 → becomes 4; tens becomes 17.
- 17 - 8 = 9
- Hundreds: 4

📌 Tips for Regrouping:
- Always start from the rightmost digit (ones place).
- If the top digit is smaller than the bottom one, borrow 1 from the next higher place.
- Remember that borrowing reduces the next digit by 1 and increases the current digit by 10.
