No problem, let's work through this together. We're starting with 68169 and are subtracting 24790 from it.

Step 1: We'll start by subtracting the digit 0 and the borrow 0 from 9 in column 1 and get 9.
9 is the first digit of our result.

Step 2: We'll start by subtracting the digit 9 and the borrow 0 from 6 in column 2 and get -3.
We add -3 to 10 and get 7 as the next digit of the result.

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

Step 4: We'll start by subtracting the digit 4 and the borrow 1 from 8 in column 4 and get 3.
3 is the next digit of our result.

Step 5: We'll start by subtracting the digit 2 and the borrow 0 from 6 in column 5 and get 4.
4 is the next digit of our result.

So, 68169 - 24790 = 43379.
