Alright, let's solve this problem step by step. We have 404000 and 2719, and we're subtracting the second number from the first.

Step 1: We'll start by subtracting the digit 9 and the borrow 0 from 0 in column 1 and get -9.
We add -9 to 10 and get 1 as the first digit of the result.

Step 2: We'll start by subtracting the digit 1 and the borrow 1 from 0 in column 2 and get -2.
We add -2 to 10 and get 8 as the next digit of the result.

Step 3: We'll start by subtracting the digit 7 and the borrow 1 from 0 in column 3 and get -8.
We add -8 to 10 and get 2 as the next digit of the result.

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

Step 5: We'll start by subtracting the digit 0 and the borrow 0 from 0 in column 5 and get 0.
0 is the next digit of our result.

Step 6: We'll start by subtracting the digit 0 and the borrow 0 from 4 in column 6 and get 4.
4 is the next digit of our result.

So, 404000 - 2719 = 401281.
