- 23

34
When subtracting in octal, you start from the rightmost digit and work your way left. If the digit on top is smaller than the digit below, you borrow 1 from the next higher place value. In this case, we had to borrow to subtract 3 from 7 in the rightmost column, resulting in 14 (octal 4) in the answer.
