Use subtraction:

12365 - 992:

Line up our numbers vertically:

  12365
_    992


      
  12365
_    992
          3

Column 1: 5 - 2 = 3


    16  
  12365
_    992
        73

Column 2:
6 - 9 is < 0, we need to borrow 10.
Column 2: 10 + 6 - 9 = 7


    1216  
  12365
_    992
      373

Column 3: 3 - 9 is <= 0, and we needed to borrow on the last column.
Therefore, we need to subtract 1 for the borrow in the previous column, and then add 10 for another borrow for this column. Total borrowing is 10 - 1 = 9.
Column 3: 9 + 3 - 9 = 3


    11216  
  12365
_    992
    1373

Column 4:
Since we borrowed on the last column, we take it out of 2
Column 4: 2 - 1 - 0 = 1


    11216  
  12365
_    992
  11373

Column 5: 1 - 0 = 1


Final Answer

12365 - 992 = 11373
