AWK solution to subtract multiple columns of numbers
Hope somebody is happy.

NR==1 {
num_columns=split( $0, menuend );
next;
}

{
split( $0, substrend );
for ( i=1; i<=NF; i++ ) {
minuend[i] -= substrend[i];
}
}

END {
print "Result:";
for ( i=1; i<=num_columns; i++ ) {
printf( "%8d", menuend[i] );
}
printf "\n";
}
