To solve this problem, we convert the hexadecimal numbers to decimal, perform the subtraction, and then convert the result back to hexadecimal. $5A8_{16}$ is $1448_{10}$ and $9D_{16}$ is $157_{10}$. Subtracting these gives $1448 - 157 = 1291$. Converting $1291_{10}$ back to hexadecimal gives $50B_{16}$.
