We can solve this together! We're beginning with 40458 and removing 24796 from it.

Step 1: We'll start by subtracting the digit 6 and the borrow 0 from 8 in column 1 and get 2.
2 is the first digit of our result.

Step 2: We'll start by subtracting the digit 9 and the borrow 0 from 5 in column 2 and get -4.
We add -4 to 10 and get 6 as the next digit of the result.

Step 3: We'll start by subtracting the digit 7 and the borrow 1 from 4 in column 3 and get -4.
We add -4 to 10 and get 6 as the next digit of the result.

Step 4: We'll start by subtracting the digit 4 and the borrow 1 from 0 in column 4 and get -5.
We add -5 to 10 and get 5 as the next digit of the result.

Step 5: We'll start by subtracting the digit 2 and the borrow 1 from 4 in column 5 and get 1.
1 is the next digit of our result.

So, 40458 - 24796 = 15662.
