Understanding place value helps you to subtract across zeros by allowing you to correctly regroup when necessary. When subtracting across zeros, the value of the zero in the minuend (top number) changes based on its position. For example, in 700 - 203, the zero in the hundreds place has a value of 700, not just 0. Understanding this helps you borrow from the hundreds place when subtracting in the ones place, ensuring accurate results.
