No problem, let's work through this together. We're starting with 303809 and are subtracting 99999 from it.

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

Step 2: We'll start by subtracting the digit 9 and the borrow 0 from 0 in column 2 and get -9.
We add -9 to 10 and get 1 as the next digit of the result.

Step 3: We'll start by subtracting the digit 9 and the borrow 1 from 8 in column 3 and get -2.
We add -2 to 10 and get 8 as the next digit of the result.

Step 4: We'll start by subtracting the digit 9 and the borrow 1 from 3 in column 4 and get -7.
We add -7 to 10 and get 3 as the next digit of the result.

Step 5: We'll start by subtracting the digit 9 and the borrow 1 from 0 in column 5 and get -10.
We add -10 to 10 and get 0 as the next digit of the result.

Step 6: We'll start by subtracting the digit 0 and the borrow 1 from 3 in column 6 and get 2.
2 is the next digit of our result.

So, 303809 - 99999 = 203810.
