To subtract the numbers, we start in the ones place and subtract 8 from 6, which requires borrowing from the tens place. In the tens place, 9 becomes 8 and the subtraction continues with 16 - 8. Finally, in the thousands place, we subtract 2 from 1, again requiring borrowing from the ten thousands place.

The difference between 2,096 and 1,738 is 358.
