Subtract the numbers: 47,584 - 9,556 = ? Calculate the numbers difference and learn how to do the subtraction, column subtracting method, from right to left

The ones digits line up in the first column from the right.

The tens digits line up in the next column to the left.

And so on...

The borrowing is a two step process:

Subtract 1 from the top digit in the column of the tens: 8 - 1 = 7.
Cross out the top digit you've borrowed 1 from: 8.
Write the answer above that digit: 7.

When borrowing, 1 ten = 10 ones.
Add 10 to the top digit in the column of the ones: 10 + 4 = ¹4.

After borrowing, the subtraction has become:
14 - 6 = 10 + 4 - 6 = 10 + 4 - 6 = 4 + (10 - 6) = 4 + 4 = 8.
8 is the ones digit.
Write it down at the base of the ones column.

8 7 - 5 = 2.
2 is the tens digit.
Write it down at the base of the tens column.

5 - 5 = 0.
0 is the hundreds digit.
Write it down at the base of the hundreds column.

Subtract 1 from the top digit in the column of the ten thousands: 4 - 1 = 3.
Cross out the top digit you've borrowed 1 from: 4.
Write the answer above that digit: 3.

When borrowing, 1 ten thousand = 10 thousands.
Add 10 to the top digit in the column of the thousands: 10 + 7 = ¹7.

After borrowing, the subtraction has become:
17 - 9 = 10 + 7 - 9 = 10 + 7 - 9 = 7 + (10 - 9) = 7 + 1 = 8.
8 is the thousands digit.
Write it down at the base of the thousands column.

There is a single digit in this column: 4 3.
3 is the ten thousands digit.
Write it down at the base of the ten thousands column.
