8. 423 - 248



```
423
- 248
-----
```

- Units: 3 - 8 → can't do, borrow from tens
- But tens is 2, so borrow from hundreds
- Hundreds: 4 → 3, tens: 2 → 12, now units: 13 - 8 = 5
- Tens: 1 (after borrow) - 4 → can't do, borrow from hundreds again?
- Wait, better to do it properly:

Actually:
- Start with 423
- Subtract 248

Breakdown:
- Units: 3 < 8 → borrow from tens → but tens is 2 → so borrow from hundreds
- Hundreds: 4 → 3
- Tens: 2 → 12, then lend 1 to units → units: 13, tens: 11
- Units: 13 - 8 = 5
- Tens: 11 - 4 = 7
- Hundreds: 3 - 2 = 1
