Solve Vertical Subtraction: 2382 minus 453

Let's solve the problem using vertical subtraction with regrouping:

1. Start by aligning the numbers vertically by place value:

$\begin{aligned} &2382 \\ - &\,453 \\ \end{aligned}$

2. Perform subtraction starting from the units place (rightmost) column:

• Units: $2 - 3$. Since $2$ is smaller than $3$, we need to borrow from the tens place. Change $8$ in the tens place to $7$ and add $10$ to $2$ to make it $12$. Now, $12 - 3 = 9$.
• Tens: Go to the tens column, which is now $7 - 5$. Subtraction results in $2$, as borrowing was resolved previously.
• Hundreds: In the hundreds place, $3 - 4$ is not possible without borrowing. Borrow from the thousands place: Change $2$ to $1$ (thousands place) and add $10$ to $3$ (hundreds place), making it $13$. Now, $13 - 4 = 9$.
• Thousands: The thousands place subtraction is $1 - 0$, which simply results in $1$.

After completing the subtraction across each column, the final result is:

$\begin{aligned} &1929 \\ \end{aligned}$

Thus, the solution to the subtraction problem is $1929$.
