You've mastered subtracting from a clean base like 1000, but what about a messy problem like 532−278? In this video, we upgrade your skills to the universal Vedic method for subtracting any number from any other number in a single line, from left to right.

This technique eliminates borrowing entirely by using complements only on the parts of the problem that need it. The key is learning to "look one step ahead" to see if a mismatch is coming, a true Architect's skill.

(0:00) The Concept: How to apply complements to general subtraction problems.

(1:00) The Left-to-Right Process: A step-by-step walkthrough of 532−278, resulting in the answer 254.
