📝 Explanation:

We used column subtraction, starting from the rightmost digit (ones place). If a digit on top is smaller than the one below, we borrow from the next higher place value.

For example, in 5230 - 2782:
- 0 < 2 → borrow from tens (3 becomes 2, 0 becomes 10)
- 10 - 2 = 8
- 2 < 8 → borrow from hundreds (2 becomes 1, 2 becomes 12)
- 12 - 8 = 4
- 1 < 7 → borrow from thousands (5 becomes 4, 1 becomes 11)
- 11 - 7 = 4
- 4 - 2 = 2

So, result = 2448

All other problems follow similar logic.
