Got it! So, we have 9881 and 471, and we'll subtract the latter from the former.

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

Step 2: We'll start by subtracting the digit 7 and the borrow 0 from 8 in column 2 and get 1.
1 is the next digit of our result.

Step 3: We'll start by subtracting the digit 4 and the borrow 0 from 8 in column 3 and get 4.
4 is the next digit of our result.

Step 4: We'll start by subtracting the digit 0 and the borrow 0 from 9 in column 4 and get 9.
9 is the next digit of our result.

So, 9881 - 471 = 9410.
