Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this subtraction problem, follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Align the numbers according to place values:
    624867616483\begin{array}{r} 624867 \\ - 616483 \\ \end{array}
  • Step 2: Subtract the digits starting from the rightmost digit:
    • Units place: 73=47 - 3 = 4
    • Tens place: 686 - 8. Since 6 is less than 8, we borrow 1 from the hundreds place, making it 168=816 - 8 = 8.
    • Hundreds place: 88 became 77 after borrowing, so 74=37 - 4 = 3.
    • Thousands place: 464 - 6 requires borrowing from the ten-thousands place. After borrowing, it is 146=814 - 6 = 8.
    • Ten-thousands place: 22 became 11 due to previous borrowing, so 11=01 - 1 = 0.
    • Hundred-thousands place: 66=06 - 6 = 0.
    Compile the results from each place: 0838408384.

Therefore, the solution to the subtraction problem is 83848384, which matches choice 1.
