Alright, let's solve this problem step by step. We have 39708 and 13573, and we're subtracting the second number from the first.

Step 1: We'll start by subtracting the digit 3 and the borrow 0 from 8 in column 1 and get 5.
5 is the first digit of our result.

Step 2: We'll start by subtracting the digit 7 and the borrow 0 from 0 in column 2 and get -7.
We add -7 to 10 and get 3 as the next digit of the result.

Step 3: We'll start by subtracting the digit 5 and the borrow 1 from 7 in column 3 and get 1.
1 is the next digit of our result.

Step 4: We'll start by subtracting the digit 3 and the borrow 0 from 9 in column 4 and get 6.
6 is the next digit of our result.

Step 5: We'll start by subtracting the digit 1 and the borrow 0 from 3 in column 5 and get 2.
2 is the next digit of our result.

So, 39708 - 13573 = 26135.
