The subtrahend.
In a subtraction problem, the numbers involved are called the "minuend" and the "subtrahend." The minuend is the number from which another number (the subtrahend) is subtracted. The result of the subtraction is called the "difference."
The answer to a subtraction problem is called the difference. It is called this, because when you are subtracting you are finding the difference between one number and another.
In a subtraction sum, such as 8 - 3 = 5, the first number is called the minuend, and the second number is the subtrahend.
