"Regrouping" is a more modern word for "borrowing".
When subtracting with decimals, if you are trying to subtract a larger digit from a smaller digit, you "regroup" the next digit to the left by taking one away from it and adding 10 to the number you are subtracting from.
Example
84
- 19
_____
You can't subtract 9 from 4, so you take one away from the next digit over (the 8) and add 10 to the 4.
14 - 9 is 5 in the ones digits
7 - 1 is 6 in the tens digits
Now if you are subtracting mixed numbers, the regrouping process is essentially the same, except that instead of always regrouping by tens, we regroup by the denominator size.
8 1/5
- 3 3/5
______
We can't subtract 3/5 from 1/5, so we regroup one unit from the 8 into 5 fifths.
7 6/5
-3 3/5
_______
4 3/5
It is very easy when you get some practice doing it.
453 - 618 in regrouping = -165
Regrouping in subtraction means that if you can't subtract because the digit on the bottom has a greater value than the digit on the top (such as 3-6), you have to "regroup" and subtract on from the top digit to the left of the digits your working with and then add a ten to the top digit your working with. Finally, you subtract. (645-9=630+15-9) Hope that makes sense!
I need help with that. I happen to have that question now in my Math lesson :( HELP!!!
Regrouping simply means putting the 2+ answers into a group and subtracting all the answers together.
i love regrouping it is fun the end
you take away one of the whole number=then you add or subtract your fractions=
202-101=101
You do by subtracting one from the previous number and adding 10 to the top number of the digits you are regrouping. Subtract those two digits and you should get your answer.
What is the answer for 8 1/3 - 5 2/6
3/2/5
By regrouping the integer. If you were subtracting 3/8 from 7, you could rewrite 7 as 6 and 8/8. Subtract 3/8 and the answer is 6 and 5/8.

During the math lesson, the students had to practice regrouping numbers to solve addition problems.
We look at the signs of numbers when we need to combine them. We subtract only if numbers have different signs, otherwise we add them. So that, if we have in an expression several positive and negative numbers, we prefer to group numbers with the same sign and add them in order to subtract just once. While with fractions we like to group fractions with the same denominator first, and after that we can combine all fractions by finding their LCD.
