Quite easily. Think about what the difference is between the number that you want to subtract and the number that you have. E.g I have the number 10, and I wish to subtract 6 from it: 10-6.
To get from 6 to 10, I need to add 4. So in this case, when I minus 6 from 10, I'm left with 4 remaining. So, 10-6=4
Or, let's say I have 16, and I wish to take away 10. To get from 10 to 16, I need to add 6. So whan I minus 10 from 16, I am left with 6 remaining. This means that:
16-10=6
This technique works for subtracting any integer (or any decimal).

How do you differentiate between fractions and integers?
Integers are positive and/or negative numbers. Fractions are not integers because they are not originally positive or negative. However, they can both be put on a number line and be considered an integer. Fractions aren't integers unless put on a number line. Integers don't have to be on a number line to be considered an integer.
Integers can be graphed as what on a number line?
