We can solve this together! We're beginning with 44693 and removing 44452 from it.

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

Step 2: We'll start by subtracting the digit 5 and the borrow 0 from 9 in column 2 and get 4.
4 is the next digit of our result.

Step 3: We'll start by subtracting the digit 4 and the borrow 0 from 6 in column 3 and get 2.
2 is the next digit of our result.

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

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

So, 44693 - 44452 = 241.
