Sure thing! We've got 290944 and 40009, and we're going to subtract the second number from the first.

Step 1: We'll start by subtracting the digit 9 and the borrow 0 from 4 in column 1 and get -5.
We add -5 to 10 and get 5 as the first digit of the result.

Step 2: We'll start by subtracting the digit 0 and the borrow 1 from 4 in column 2 and get 3.
3 is the next digit of our result.

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

Step 4: We'll start by subtracting the digit 0 and the borrow 0 from 0 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 9 in column 5 and get 5.
5 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, 290944 - 40009 = 250935.
