    Column by column: 7,273 − 2,468

    • Ones: 3 is less than 8 — borrow 1 ten: tens 7 → 6; 13 − 8 = 5 — write 5.
    • Tens: after borrowing, 6; 6 − 6 = 0 — write 0.
    • Hundreds: 2 is less than 4 — borrow 1 thousand: thousands 7 → 6; 12 − 4 = 8 — write 8.
    • Thousands: after borrowing, 6; 6 − 2 = 4 — write 4.

    7,273 − 2,468 = 4,805
