Since the numbers below are larger than those on top for both the month and day, you will have to borrow from the figures at the left just as you do in normal substraction. However, you cannot simply borrow 30 days if the month happens to have 31, 28, or 29 days for leap year.
The month on the top line is March and it has 31 days. Therefore you add 31 to the day shown making 32 days. That leaves 2 in the center, so you borrow 12 months from the year 1881. Now your substraction problem is much simpler:
