align the decimals and subtract as you normally would. make sure after subtracting you bring the decimal down. replace empty space with zeros.
for example: 1.340 - 1.3250 will look like this
1.340
- 1.3250
another example: 10.39485 - 9.847 will look like this.
10.39485
- 9.84700 <----see how I added zeros.
When your done subtracting, you bring the decimal straight down to your answer.
7.584
- 5.483
