We can solve this together! We're beginning with 279901 and removing 5995 from it.

Step 1: We'll start by subtracting the digit 5 and the borrow 0 from 1 in column 1 and get -4.
We add -4 to 10 and get 6 as the first digit of the result.

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

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

Step 4: We'll start by subtracting the digit 5 and the borrow 1 from 9 in column 4 and get 3.
3 is the next digit of our result.

Step 5: We'll start by subtracting the digit 0 and the borrow 0 from 7 in column 5 and get 7.
7 is the next digit of our result.

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

So, 279901 - 5995 = 273906.
