the result of one of the important mathematical operations, which is obtained by subtracting two numbers. It tells us by how much a number differs from the other. The aim of finding the difference in math is to tell how many numbers lie between the two given numbers. The difference in math symbol is minus(-).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"353\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/example-of-difference-in-math.png\" alt=\"Example of Difference in Math\" class=\"wp-image-40020\" title=\"Example of Difference in Math\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/example-of-difference-in-math.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/example-of-difference-in-math-300x171.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Minuend is the first number in the subtraction sentence.

The absolute difference is always positive even if the numbers are negative. If A and B are two numbers, the absolute difference = A-B<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, the difference in math between two numbers is the result of subtraction.
