    Answer

    73,891 − 3,579 =
    70,312

    With regrouping: 1 borrow — from the tens

    73,891 − 3,579 in a column. Above the columns: the values after borrowing — a crossed-out digit is replaced by the number above it; +10 marks a column that received a borrowed ten.
    8+10
    7 3 8 9(was 9, now 8)1 (was 1, now 11)
    −3579
    70312

    Column by column: 73,891 − 3,579

    • Ones: 1 is less than 9 — borrow 1 ten: tens 9 → 8; 11 − 9 = 2 — write 2.
    • Tens: after borrowing, 8; 8 − 7 = 1 — write 1.
    • Hundreds: 8 − 5 = 3 — write 3.
    • Thousands: 3 − 3 = 0 — write 0.
    • Ten thousands: nothing to subtract — write 7.

    73,891 − 3,579 = 70,312

    Second check: 73,891 − 70,312 = 3,579
