It is an essential part of a subtraction equation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Suppose you have to subtract 5 from 8. You can easily write it as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"329\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/a-subtraction-sentence.png\" alt=\"A subtraction sentence\" class=\"wp-image-40104\" title=\"A subtraction sentence\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/a-subtraction-sentence.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/a-subtraction-sentence-300x159.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">But can you say which one of these numbers is the minuend?

A subtraction sentence consists of 3 numbers: minuend, subtrahend, and difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">The minuend is the first number in a subtraction sentence. We subtract subtrahend from the minuend to get the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"284\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/minuend-minus-subtrahend-equals-difference.png\" alt=\"Minuend minus subtrahend equals difference\" class=\"wp-image-40105\" title=\"Minuend minus subtrahend equals difference\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/minuend-minus-subtrahend-equals-difference.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/minuend-minus-subtrahend-equals-difference-300x137.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Let us consider the subtraction equation 9 \u2013 4 = 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Here,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"330\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/a-subtraction-equation-with-minuend-subtrahend-and-difference.png\" alt=\"A subtraction equation with minuend, subtrahend, and difference\" class=\"wp-image-40106\" title=\"A subtraction equation with minuend, subtrahend, and difference\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/a-subtraction-equation-with-minuend-subtrahend-and-difference.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/a-subtraction-equation-with-minuend-subtrahend-and-difference-300x160.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">In the vertical method of subtraction or column method, the minuend is the number at the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"319\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/vertical-subtraction-with-minuend-subtrahend-and-difference.png\" alt=\"Vertical subtraction with minuend, subtrahend, and difference\" class=\"wp-image-40107\" title=\"Vertical subtraction with minuend, subtrahend, and difference\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/vertical-subtraction-with-minuend-subtrahend-and-difference.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/vertical-subtraction-with-minuend-subtrahend-and-difference-300x154.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">In the column method of subtraction, we regroup the numbers if the minuend digit is smaller than the subtrahend digit. That is, the digit we want to subtract is higher than the digit from which it is subtracted. In such a case, we borrow 1 from the next higher place to regroup the numbers. It makes the value of the minuend digit higher than the subtrahend digit and makes it possible to subtract the subtrahend digit from the minuend digit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"417\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/steps-to-subtract-with-regrouping.png\" alt=\"Steps to subtract with regrouping\" class=\"wp-image-40109\" title=\"Steps to subtract with regrouping\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/steps-to-subtract-with-regrouping.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/steps-to-subtract-with-regrouping-300x202.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Here, 5 cannot be subtracted from 3. So, 1 ten is borrowed from the tens place. This changes the minuend digit from 3 to 13. Now, 5 can be easily subtracted from 13 to get 8.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"recommended-games-container-id\" class=\"recommended-games-container\"><h4

class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The word \u201cminuend\u201d originates from the Latin word \u201cminuendus,\u201d which means something that will decrease.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">In a subtraction sentence, the value of the minuend is equal to the sum of the subtrahend and the difference. For example, if ___ \u2013 7 = 28, then the minuend is 28 + 7 = 35.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"3-conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Subtraction is one of the four fundamental operations of mathematics. Mastering this operation and its vocabulary is essential for understanding algebra and other mathematical operations. SplashLearn can help you learn the concepts and vocabulary of subtraction with ease. This learning platform has lessons with plenty of examples and practice problems to resolve your doubts on minuend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"4-solved-examples\">Solved Examples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Example 1: Which is the minuend in the subtraction equation given below?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">762 \u2013 436 = 326<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Solution<\/strong>: 762. We know that the first number in a subtraction sentence is a minuend. So, here 762 is the minuend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Example 2:&nbsp; Find the minuend in 500 \u2013 499.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Solution<\/strong>: 500. According to the definition of minuend, it is the number from which another number is deducted or subtracted. Thus, 500 is the minuend here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Example 3:&nbsp; Find the value of 83 \u2013 36 using the column method.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Solution<\/strong>: 47. On arranging the numbers in the column method by place value, we observe that the minuend, 3, in the ones column is smaller than the subtrahend, 6, in the ones column. So, we borrow 1 from the tens place for the minuend 3 and regroup the numbers. This increases the minuend value to 13 and makes it greater than the subtrahend 6. We then carry out the subtraction operation and get 83 \u2013 36 = 47.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"123\" height=\"246\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/solution-of-83-minus-36.png\" alt=\"Solution of 83 minus 36\" class=\"wp-image-40111\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"5-practice-problems\">Practice Problems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><div class=\"spq_wrapper\"><h2 style=\"display:none;\">Minuend - Definition With Examples<\/h2><p style=\"display:none;\">Attend this quiz & Test your knowledge.<\/p><div class=\"spq_question_wrapper\" data-answer=\"1\"><span class=\"spq_question_header\"><span class=\"sqp_question_number\">1<\/span><h3 class=\"sqp_question_text\">In the equation x \u2013 y = z, which is the minuend?<\/h3><\/span><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"0\">Y<\/div><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"1\">X<\/div><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"2\">Z<\/div><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"3\">None of the above<\/div><div class=\"sqp_question_hint\"><div class=\"sqp_question_hint__header\"><span class=\"spq_correct\">Correct<\/span><span class=\"spq_incorrect\">Incorrect<\/span><\/div><div class=\"sqp_question_hint__content\"><span>Correct answer is: X<br\/>Explanation: In a subtraction equation, minuend is the number from which another number is subtracted.
