Final answer:

The difference between 40,005 and 7,346 is 32,659.


Step-by-step explanation:

To find the difference, subtract 7,346 from 40,005. Start with the rightmost digits and work your way left. Subtracting 6 from 5 is not possible, so we regroup by borrowing from the next place value. In the tens place, 0 becomes 10, and then we subtract 6 from 15, which gives us 9. In the hundreds place, 0 becomes 10, and then we subtract 4 from 15, which gives us 11. In the thousands place, 0 becomes 10, and then we subtract 7 from 10, which gives us 3. Finally, in the ten thousands place, we subtract 7 from 4, which is not possible. Therefore, we borrow from the hundred thousands place, which becomes 30, and then we subtract 7 from 34, which gives us 27. So, 40,005 minus 7,346 equals 32,659.
