Answer (2)

To subtract the given numbers, we need to arrange them in columns and proceed with the subtraction process step-by-step. Let's do this for each problem:
(i) Subtract 1,342 from 7,645 :
[\begin{array}{c} 7,645 \

1,342 \ \hline \end{array}]

Begin subtracting from right to left:

Units: 5 - 2 = 3
Tens: 4 - 4 = 0
Hundreds: 6 - 3 = 3
Thousands: 7 - 1 = 6

Therefore, the answer is 6,303.
(ii) Subtract 43,231 from 67,875 :
[\begin{array}{c} 67,875 \

43,231 \ \hline \end{array}]

Subtract step-by-step:

Units: 5 - 1 = 4
Tens: 7 - 3 = 4
Hundreds: 8 - 2 = 6
Thousands: 7 - 3 = 4
Ten-thousands: 6 - 4 = 2

Thus, the answer is 24,644.
(iii) Subtract 7,990 from 32,489 :
[\begin{array}{c} 32,489 \

7,990 \ \hline \end{array}]

Subtract step-by-step:

Units: 9 - 0 = 9
Tens: 8 - 9 = -1, (borrow 1 from hundreds, making it 18 - 9 = 9)
Hundreds: 3 - 9 = -6, (borrow 1 from thousands, making it 13 - 9 = 4)
Thousands: 2 - 1 = 1

Therefore, the result is 24,499.
(iv) Subtract 783 from 59,807 :
[\begin{array}{c} 59,807 \

783 \

\hline \end{array}]
Subtract step-by-step:

Units: 7 - 3 = 4
Tens: 0 - 8 = -8, (borrow 1 from hundreds, making it 10 - 8 = 2)
Hundreds: 7 - 7 = 0
Thousands: 9 - 0 = 9
Ten-thousands: 5 - 0 = 5

Thus, the answer is 59,024.

We arranged the numbers in columns for subtraction. The results are: 6,303 for (i), 24,644 for (ii), 24,499 for (iii), and 59,024 for (iv). Each step involved borrowing when necessary, ensuring accuracy in the calculations.
