Solution - Long subtraction
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
| Place value | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 1 | 4 | 4 | 2 | 2 | 4 | |
| 4 | 9 | 3 | 4 | 3 | ||
| - | 2 | 2 | ||||
2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method
Because the upper digit (4) in the ones column is too small to get a positive difference, borrow 1 from the digit (2) in the next number place which becomes (1) and get (14).

Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
14-3-2=9

Because the upper digit (1) in the tens column is too small to get a positive difference, borrow 1 from the digit (2) in the next number place which becomes (1) and get (11).
