To solve the subtraction \( 913 - 223 \):
- Start with the last digit: \( 3 - 3 = 0 \)
- Next, move to the tens place: \( 1 - 2 \). Since \( 1 < 2 \), we need to borrow 1 from the hundreds place:
- The hundreds place changes from \( 9 \) to \( 8 \), and the \( 1 \) in the tens becomes \( 11 \).
- Now, calculate: \( 11 - 2 = 9 \).
- Finally, for the hundreds place: \( 8 - 2 = 6 \).
Putting it all together, the result is \( 690 \). So, \( 913 - 223 = 690 \).
