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

Step 2: We'll start by subtracting the digit 6 and the borrow 0 from 4 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 9 and the borrow 1 from 0 in column 3 and get -10.
We add -10 to 10 and get 0 as the next digit of the result.

Step 4: We'll start by subtracting the digit 1 and the borrow 1 from 8 in column 4 and get 6.
6 is the next digit of our result.

So, 8042 - 1960 = 6082.
