No problem, let's work through this together. We're starting with 24269 and are subtracting 21236 from it.

Step 1: We'll start by subtracting the digit 6 and the borrow 0 from 9 in column 1 and get 3.
3 is the first digit of our result.

Step 2: We'll start by subtracting the digit 3 and the borrow 0 from 6 in column 2 and get 3.
3 is the next digit of our result.

Step 3: We'll start by subtracting the digit 2 and the borrow 0 from 2 in column 3 and get 0.
0 is the next digit of our result.

Step 4: We'll start by subtracting the digit 1 and the borrow 0 from 4 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 2 in column 5 and get 0.
0 is the next digit of our result.

So, 24269 - 21236 = 3033.
