Integers are closed under subtraction, meaning that any subtraction problem with integers has a solution in the set of integers.
Subtraction means addition of the additive inverse. For two numbers a and b, we say a-b when we mean a + (-b) where -b is a number with the property that b + -b = 0. This applies to all real numbers, which of course includes integers.
Integers are whole numbers, both positive and negative. Therefore, adding and subtracting integers would be adding and subtracting whole numbers. Examples: 8+2 -8+2 8-2 -8-2
Integers are whole numbers as for example 28 minus 17 = 11
They are different in the same way that subtraction of integers is different from their addition.
Subtracting two numbers is finding their difference.
In subtraction, the minuend minus the subtrahend equals the difference.
Whole numbers subtraction: YesDivision integers: No.
adding and subtracting integers is when you add and minus 2 numbers

The result of subtracting 2 numbers is the difference.
The result of subtracting two numbers is known as difference the quotient
To be closed under an operation, when that operation is applied to two member of a set then the result must also be a member of the set. Thus the sets ℂ (Complex numbers), ℝ (Real Numbers), ℚ (Rational Numbers) and ℤ (integers) are closed under subtraction. ℤ+ (the positive integers), ℤ- (the negative integers) and ℕ (the natural numbers) are not closed under subtraction as subtraction can lead to a result which is not a member of the set.
