Answer 1

157,350 will do the job.

Answer 2

A number is 157,355

Explanation:

We are given a six digit number 156,350. If we subtract 156,350 from a unknown number (x) rsult should be 4 digit number.

Let we suppose 4-digit number smallest as well largest

Smallest 4-digit number = 1000

If we subtract 156,350 from x to get 1000

x-156350=1000

x=156350+1000

x=157,350

Largest 4-digit number = 9999

If we subtract 156,350 from x to get 9999

x-156350=9999

x=156350+9999

x=166,349

Four digit number should be lie between 157,350 to 166,349

We can choose any number between them

Thus, 157,355 is a number to get 4-digit number when 156,350 is subtract.
