In a subtraction operation, the parts are called the minuend, subtrahend, and difference. The minuend is the number from which another number is subtracted, the subtrahend is the number that is being subtracted, and the difference is the result of the subtraction. For example, in the equation 8 - 3 = 5, 8 is the minuend, 3 is the subtrahend, and 5 is the difference.
