Solution:

subtraction of decimals example 2
Start subtracting from right to left 3-1=2.
As 7 >5, So you must regroup. Take 1 from 6 then 6 becomes 5. Add 10 to 5, So 5 becomes 15. 15-7=8.
As 8 >5, So you must regroup. Take 1 from 2 then 2 becomes 1. Add 10 to 5, So 5 becomes 15. 15-8=7.
As 5>2, So you must regroup. Take 1 from 2 then 2 becomes 1. Add 10 to 1, So 1 becomes 11. 11-5=6.
1-1=0.
Therefore, by subtracting 15.871 from 22.653 we get 6.782.
