    Column by column: 15,924 − 3,579

    • Ones: 4 is less than 9 — borrow 1 ten: tens 2 → 1; 14 − 9 = 5 — write 5.
    • Tens: after borrowing, 1; 1 is less than 7 — borrow 1 hundred: hundreds 9 → 8; 11 − 7 = 4 — write 4.
    • Hundreds: after borrowing, 8; 8 − 5 = 3 — write 3.
    • Thousands: 5 − 3 = 2 — write 2.
    • Ten thousands: nothing to subtract — write 1.

    15,924 − 3,579 = 12,345
