Question

The second number in a subtraction problem

Answer 1

In a subtraction problem, the second number is referred to as the "subtrahend." The first number, from which the second number is subtracted, is called the "minuend." The result of the subtraction is called the "difference."

For example, in the expression \(8 - 3\):
- \(8\) is the minuend,
- \(3\) is the subtrahend,
- The difference is \(5\).
