We can solve this together! We're beginning with 64048 and removing 8874 from it.

Step 1: We'll start by subtracting the digit 4 and the borrow 0 from 8 in column 1 and get 4.
4 is the first digit of our result.

Step 2: We'll start by subtracting the digit 7 and the borrow 0 from 4 in column 2 and get -3.
We add -3 to 10 and get 7 as the next digit of the result.

Step 3: We'll start by subtracting the digit 8 and the borrow 1 from 0 in column 3 and get -9.
We add -9 to 10 and get 1 as the next digit of the result.

Step 4: We'll start by subtracting the digit 8 and the borrow 1 from 4 in column 4 and get -5.
We add -5 to 10 and get 5 as the next digit of the result.

Step 5: We'll start by subtracting the digit 0 and the borrow 1 from 6 in column 5 and get 5.
5 is the next digit of our result.

So, 64048 - 8874 = 55174.
