00:03 Each time consider subtracting 2 digits, and then we'll place
00:06 4 is less than 7
00:10 Now we'll borrow ten from the tens place for the ones place
00:13 Which will turn the tens from 7 to 6
00:16 And now we'll have 14 instead of 4, in the ones place!
00:20 Subtract ones from ones, and place in ones
00:24 Subtract tens from tens, and place in tens
00:29 2 is less than 3
00:33 Now we'll borrow hundred from thousands for the hundreds place
00:37 Which will turn the thousands from 1 to 0
00:41 And now we'll have 12 instead of 2, in hundreds!
00:44 Subtract hundreds from hundreds, and place in hundreds
00:50 Subtract thousands from thousands, and place in thousands
00:54 4 is less than 5
00:59 Therefore we'll borrow from hundreds of thousands, for tens of thousands
01:01 Which will turn the hundreds of thousands from 8 to 7
01:04 And now we'll have 14 instead of 4, in tens of thousands!
01:08 Subtract tens of thousands from tens of thousands, and place
01:12 Subtract hundreds of thousands from hundreds of thousands, and place
01:18 And this is the solution to the problem

Step-by-Step Solution

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

  • Step 1: Write the numbers in their respective place values, aligning the digits vertically based on units, tens, etc.
    841274750337    \begin{array}{c} 841274 \\ - 750337 ~~~\\ \hline \end{array}

  • Step 2: Begin subtracting from the rightmost column (the units column).

Subtracting each column, starting with the rightmost:

- Units place: 47 4 - 7 : Since 4 is smaller than 7, we borrow 1 from the tens place (making it 14), then subtract to get 147=7 14 - 7 = 7 .
- Tens place: After borrowing, we have 63=3 6 - 3 = 3 .
- Hundreds place: 23 2 - 3 : Again, we borrow from the thousands place, making it 12. Thus, 123=9 12 - 3 = 9 .
- Thousands place: After borrowing, we have 00=0 0 - 0 = 0 .
- Ten-thousands place: 45 4 - 5 : Borrow from the hundred-thousands place, resulting in 145=9 14 - 5 = 9 .
- Hundred-thousands place: Finally, 77=0 7 - 7 = 0 after borrowing.

Therefore, carrying out the subtraction yields the result:

90937 90937

This matches the correct answer choice.

The solution to the subtraction problem is 90937 90937 .
