We have:

& _ & 1 & 2 & 8 & 1 \
end{array}

2. Next column (7 – 5): We need to find the missing digit above, where 7 – 5 = 2. This indicates that the unknown digit is 2.
3. Next column (8 – _ = 1): Here, to find the missing number, we need (8 – ? = 1). This means the unknown digit is 7, since (8 – 7 = 1).
4. Next column (5 – _): From the first digit of the first number, we have 5 and need to find the missing digit where 5 – ? will lead to the overall top digit. The digit below is missing, but considering the addition from the subtraction, we can deduce that it needs to be 4 in total. Thus, the missing digit
