Solve the Subtraction Problem: 89755 minus 4944

To solve this subtraction problem using vertical subtraction, we will follow these steps:

• Step 1: Align the numerals of 89755 and 4944 vertically, such that the units, tens, hundreds, etc., are in line with each other.
• Step 2: Begin by subtracting the rightmost digits, moving left. If the top digit is smaller than the bottom digit, perform borrowing operation from the next left column.

Let's perform the subtraction:

$\begin{array}{cccccc} & 8 & 9 & 7 & 5 & 5\\ - & & 4 & 9 & 4 & 4\\ \hline & 8 & 4 & 8 & 1 & 1\\ \end{array}$

Here's how the subtraction is processed:

• Subtract the rightmost digits: $5 - 4 = 1$.
• Next, in the tens column: $5 - 4 = 1$.
• In the hundreds column, 7 is smaller than 9, so we borrow 1 from the thousands place: $17 - 9 = 8$.
• In the thousands place, we adjust for borrowing: now $8 - 4 = 4$.
• Finally, in the ten thousands place: since no borrowing affected this initial value, $8 - 0 = 8$.

Therefore, the result of the subtraction $89755 - 4944$ is $\mathbf{84811}$.
