Starting from the rightmost column:

1 - 9 requires borrowing. We borrow 1 from the 2 in the tens place, making it

1. The 1 in the ones place becomes

1

1. 11 - 9 =

2. In the tens place, we have 1 -

8. This also requires borrowing. We borrow 1 from the 5 in the hundreds place, making it

4. The 1 in the tens place becomes

1

1. 11 - 8 =

3. In the hundreds place, we have 4 -

5. This requires borrowing. We borrow 1 from the 6 in the thousands place, making it

5. The 4 in the hundreds place becomes

1

4. 14 - 5 =

9. In the thousands place, we have 5 - 1 =

4. In the ten-thousands place, we have 4 - 0 =

4. So, $46521 - 1589 = 44932$.
