Surely you must have carried out multiple arithmetic problems involving subtracting two numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">A standard equation for the subtraction of two numbers may look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">5 \u2013 2 = 3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Simply stated, when we remove 2 from 5, we are left with 3. This type of calculation can be done for any object or thing. When it comes to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/subtraction\/subtract\" title=\"\">subtraction<\/a>, the arithmetic operation follows several rules. So, for example, subtraction is not commutative, which means that changing the order of the digits involved in subtraction will change the outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Similarly, subtraction is not associative because the order in which more than two numbers are subtracted stands to impact the outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Thus, it is imperative to denote the numbers involved in subtraction with a proper term.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"recommended-games-container-id\" class=\"recommended-games-container\"><h4

class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"1-what-is-subtrahend-in-math\">What is Subtrahend in Math?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Subtrahend is defined as the term used to denote the number being subtracted from another. So, in the given equation above, i.e., 5 \u2013 2 = 3, 2 is the subtrahend.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">At the same time, the number from which another number is being subtracted is known as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/subtraction\/minuend\" title=\"\">minuend<\/a>. So, continuing the example above, we can say that 5 is the minuend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">To understand the concept in simpler terms, you can look at the following equation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"285\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/minuend-minus-subtrahend-is-equal-to-the-difference.png\" alt=\"Minuend minus subtrahend is equal to the difference\" class=\"wp-image-40174\" title=\"Minuend minus subtrahend is equal to the difference\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/minuend-minus-subtrahend-is-equal-to-the-difference.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/minuend-minus-subtrahend-is-equal-to-the-difference-300x138.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Thus, in the example given above,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Minuend = 5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Subtrahend = 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Difference = 3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"424\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/visual-representation-of-subtraction-marked-with-minuend-subtrahend-and-difference.png\" alt=\"Visual representation of subtraction marked with minuend, subtrahend, and difference\" class=\"wp-image-40175\" title=\"Visual representation of subtraction marked with minuend, subtrahend, and difference\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/visual-representation-of-subtraction-marked-with-minuend-subtrahend-and-difference.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/visual-representation-of-subtraction-marked-with-minuend-subtrahend-and-difference-300x205.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Changing the positions of the subtrahend and minuend will directly impact the difference, making it positive or negative. Since you know how to solve an equation, it may not surprise you to learn that several questions can test your knowledge of subtraction by eliminating either one of the minuend, subtrahend, or the difference in an equation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">So now you know that the number being subtracted from another number is called a subtrahend. Do you think you could start referring to the numbers in a subtraction equation with their names?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"recommended-worksheets-container-id\" class=\"recommended-games-container\"><h4

Subtrahend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Example 1:<\/strong> Ms. X collected 50 apples falling from a tree in her neighborhood. At the same time, she also bought some apples from a store on her way back home. Calculate and find out how many apples she bought from the store if she has a total of 62 apples with her now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Solution:<\/strong> Ms. X already had 50 apples with her. Now, she has a total of 62 apples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">If we translate the above problem into an equation, we can say that we must subtract 50 from 62 to find out how many apples she bought from the store. So, 62 \u2013 50 = 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Example 2:<\/strong> In the equation below, identify which number is the subtrahend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">50 \u2013 8 = 42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Solution:<\/strong> The subtrahend in the above equation is 8. A subtrahend is a number that is being subtracted from another number. In this case, it is 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Example 3:<\/strong> In the equation, 80 \u2013 (-50) = 130, the subtrahend is -50, true or false?<strong>Solution:<\/strong> True. Irrespective of the sign of a number, a subtrahend is a number being subtracted from another. In this case, it is -50.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"3-practice-problems-on-subtrahend\">Practice Problems on Subtrahend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><div class=\"spq_wrapper\"><h2 style=\"display:none;\">Subtrahend\u00a0 - Definition with Examples<\/h2><p style=\"display:none;\">Attend this Quiz & Test your knowledge.<\/p><div class=\"spq_question_wrapper\" data-answer=\"0\"><span class=\"spq_question_header\"><span class=\"sqp_question_number\">1<\/span><h3 class=\"sqp_question_text\">Mr. X has 100 bags of rice with him.
