Question

What is the number is subtracted called and what is the number from which it is subtracted called?

Answer 1

Write the relation between the number that is subtracted and the number from which it is subtracted.

Subtrahend refers to a number that is subtracted from another integer in an arithmetic operation while the Minuend is the other number from which the subtrahend is subtracted.

The result that is obtained is called the difference.

So, it can be written as $\mathrm{Minuend}-\mathrm{Subtrahend}=\mathrm{Difference}$.

Thus, the number is subtracted called Subtrahend, and the number from which it is subtracted called Minuend.

Hence, the number that is subtracted is called the subtrahend and the number it is subtracted from is called the minuend.
