Subtracting Multi-Digit Whole Numbers

The video tutorial explains subtraction as taking away a number from another to find the difference. It demonstrates arranging numbers with the same place value in columns, ensuring the minuend is on top and the subtrahend below. The subtraction process is performed from right to left, starting with the ones place and moving through each column.
