Alright, let's solve this problem step by step. We have 52970 and 50338, and we're subtracting the second number from the first.

Step 1: We'll start by subtracting the digit 8 and the borrow 0 from 0 in column 1 and get -8.
We add -8 to 10 and get 2 as the first digit of the result.

Step 2: We'll start by subtracting the digit 3 and the borrow 1 from 7 in column 2 and get 3.
3 is the next digit of our result.

Step 3: We'll start by subtracting the digit 3 and the borrow 0 from 9 in column 3 and get 6.
6 is the next digit of our result.

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

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

So, 52970 - 50338 = 2632.
