If, in the left-hand column, you subract B from A and not get a remainder, B must be just 1

smaller than A.

Since there is no remainder in the 4's column, there must have been a "borrow" in the 1's

column, resulting in the A of the 4's column becoming reduced to the value of B.

 

A is one greater than B.
