An integer is simply any number that is whole, such as 1 or -5 or -8. An integer NEVER has a fractional value, or a decimal value. So, in order to subtract integers, simply use the normal process for subtraction. For example, 5 minus 3 equals 2. Simply take the subtrahend (3) from the minuend (5) and receive the difference (2).
