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 |
| 9 | 3 | 2 | 5 | 2 | 6 | |
| - | 3 | 6 | 5 | 9 | ||
2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method
Because the upper digit (6) 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 (16).
