Step 1.1

Set up the subtraction problem in long subtraction format.


	$1$	$4$	.	$7$	$3$
$-$		$8$	.	$1$	$2$	$5$
			.

Step 1.2

Borrow $10$ from the digit in the next column to the left. Add the borrowed $10$ to $0$ . Reduce the number that was borrowed from by $1$ .

					$2$	$10$
	$1$	$4$	.	$7$	$3$
$-$		$8$	.	$1$	$2$	$5$
			.

Step 1.3

Subtract $5$ from $10$ .

					$2$	$10$
	$1$	$4$	.	$7$	$3$
$-$		$8$	.	$1$	$2$	$5$
			.			$5$

Step 1.4

Subtract $2$ from $2$ .

					$2$	$10$
	$1$	$4$	.	$7$	$3$
$-$		$8$	.	$1$	$2$	$5$
			.		$0$	$5$

Step 1.5

Subtract $1$ from $7$ .

					$2$	$10$
	$1$	$4$	.	$7$	$3$
$-$		$8$	.	$1$	$2$	$5$
			.	$6$	$0$	$5$

Step 1.6

Borrow $10$ from the digit in the next column to the left. Add the borrowed $10$ to $4$ . Reduce the number that was borrowed from by $1$ .

	$0$	$14$			$2$	$10$
	$1$	$4$	.	$7$	$3$
$-$		$8$	.	$1$	$2$	$5$
			.	$6$	$0$	$5$

Step 1.7

Subtract $8$ from $14$ .

	$0$	$14$			$2$	$10$
	$1$	$4$	.	$7$	$3$
$-$		$8$	.	$1$	$2$	$5$
		$6$	.	$6$	$0$	$5$

Step 1.8

Subtract $0$ from $0$ .

	$0$	$14$			$2$	$10$
	$1$	$4$	.	$7$	$3$
$-$		$8$	.	$1$	$2$	$5$
	$0$	$6$	.	$6$	$0$	$5$

	$0$	$14$			$2$	$10$
	$1$	$4$	.	$7$	$3$
$-$		$8$	.	$1$	$2$	$5$
	$0$	$6$	.	$6$	$0$	$5$

Step 2

The result of $14.73 - 8.125$ is $6.605$ .

$6.605$

$[\begin{array}{c} x^{2} & \frac{1}{2} \\ \sqrt{π} & \int x d x \end{array}]$
