Question

Second number in a subtraction problem

Answer 1

In a subtraction problem, the second number is referred to as the "subtrahend." The first number is called the "minuend," and the result of the subtraction is called the "difference." For example, in the subtraction problem \(7 - 3 = 4\), 7 is the minuend, 3 is the subtrahend, and 4 is the difference.
