    The subtrahend digits are s 3 = 5, s 2 = 1 and s 1 = 2. Beginning at the one's place, 4 is not less than 2 so the difference 2 is written down in the result's one's place. In the ten's place, 0 is less than 1, so the 0 is increased by 10, and the difference with 1, which is 9, is written down in the ten's place.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_complements

    The nines' complement of a number given in decimal representation is formed by replacing each digit with nine minus that digit. To subtract a decimal number y (the subtrahend) from another number x (the minuend) two methods may be used: In the first method, the nines' complement of x is added to y. Then the nines' complement of the result ...

    In this article, difference is described as "the restult of subtraction". Is it actually the result of subtraction, or the positive result? Take for example The difference of 2 and 3 = 3 - 2 = 1, then The diference of 3 and 2 = 2 - 3 = -1 or |2 - 3| = 1 ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.222.234.90 06:37, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

    Dividing 272 and 8, starting with the hundreds digit, 2 is not divisible by 8. Add 20 and 7 to get 27. The largest number that the divisor of 8 can be multiplied by without exceeding 27 is 3, so it is written under the tens column. Subtracting 24 (the product of 3 and 8) from 27 gives 3 as the remainder.
