It's called the minuend. Example: 8 - 2 = 6. 8 is the minuend, 2 is the subtrahend, 6 is the difference.
c − b = aare minuend (c) − subtrahend (b) = difference (a).
the number being subtracted
A number being added to another number is called an addend. The total of the numbers added together is called the sum.
