Fill in the missing numbers to complete the subtraction problem. 5 8 7 4 − _ 5 3 _ 1 2 8 1?

To fill in the missing numbers in the subtraction problem, we can break it down step by step.

We have:

[

begin{array}{cccc}

& 5 & 8 & 7 & 4 \

– & _ & 5 & 3 \

hline

& _ & 1 & 2 & 8 & 1 \

end{array}

]

Starting from the rightmost column:

1. Look at the last digit (4 – 3 = 1): The digit above is 4 and 3 below gives us 1, which is correct.

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
