No problem, let's work through this together. We're starting with 96586 and are subtracting 68949 from it.

Step 1: We'll start by subtracting the digit 9 and the borrow 0 from 6 in column 1 and get -3.
We add -3 to 10 and get 7 as the first digit of the result.

Step 2: We'll start by subtracting the digit 4 and the borrow 1 from 8 in column 2 and get 3.
3 is the next digit of our result.

Step 3: We'll start by subtracting the digit 9 and the borrow 0 from 5 in column 3 and get -4.
We add -4 to 10 and get 6 as the next digit of the result.

Step 4: We'll start by subtracting the digit 8 and the borrow 1 from 6 in column 4 and get -3.
We add -3 to 10 and get 7 as the next digit of the result.

Step 5: We'll start by subtracting the digit 6 and the borrow 1 from 9 in column 5 and get 2.
2 is the next digit of our result.

So, 96586 - 68949 = 27637.
