The example below illustrates 6583 - 4729.

In general, line up the place values and subtract each one, starting on the far right.

However, if the bottom number is larger than the top (such as in the one's place where 9 is larger than 3), you must "borrow" from the next place value.

5 15 7 13
6 5 8 3
