In subtraction, "borrowing" refers to the process of taking a value from the next higher place value when the digit in the current place is smaller than the digit being subtracted. For example, in the subtraction 52 - 27, you would borrow 1 from the tens place to change the 5 in 50 to 4, making the 2 in the ones place 12. This allows you to subtract 7 from 12 instead of 2. Borrowing ensures the subtraction can be carried out correctly across different place values.
