Answer
Units column: * - 5 = 7. Since this requires borrowing, * + 10 - 5 = 7, which gives * = 2. (Borrow 1 from tens)
Tens column: After borrowing, 0 - 1 - * = 5 requires further borrowing. So, 10 + 0 - 1 - * = 5, which gives * = 4. (Borrow 1 from hundreds)
Hundreds column: After borrowing, 5 - 1 - 0 = 4. So, the * in the result = 4.
Thousands column: 6 - * = 4, which gives * = 2.
Hence, the completed subtraction is:
Verification: 6502 - 2045 = 4457.
