This is done when subtracting mixed fractions. Here you subtract the whole part and the fractional part separately; but if you have a case such as, for example,
5 2/6 - 3 3/6
in the first number, you can "borrow" one whole, which in this case is equal to 6/6; that is, you subtract it from the whole part and add it to the fractional part, thus converting the subtraction to:
4 8/6 - 3 3/6
Now you should have no trouble subtracting the whole part and the fractional part separately.

Are you supposed to borrow when multiplying?
When multiplying, you are not technically "borrowing" in the same way you do when subtracting. Instead, you are regrouping or carrying over values when the product of two digits is greater than 9. This regrouping allows you to correctly place the appropriate digit in the correct place value position in the final product. So, while the concept may seem similar to borrowing in subtraction, it is actually a different mathematical operation used to ensure accurate multiplication results.
