1 is the next digit of our result.

Step 3: We'll start by subtracting the digit 0 and the borrow 0 from 9 in column 3 and get 9.
9 is the next digit of our result.

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

Step 5: We'll start by subtracting the digit 6 and the borrow 0 from 8 in column 5 and get 2.
2 is the next digit of our result.

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

So, 584988 - 60073 = 524915.
