The positive difference between two numbers is the result of subtracting the smaller number from the larger number. This calculation yields a positive value, regardless of the order in which the numbers are subtracted. For example, the positive difference between 8 and 3 is 5, as 8 - 3 = 5.

How do you decide if the difference of two numbers is positive negative zero without calculating the difference?
Formally, the difference between two numbers, x and y, is abs(x - y) which is never negative. If the two numbers are the same then the difference is 0 else it is positive. If you define the difference as x - y then it is positive if x > y, 0 if x = y and negative if x < y.
What is the difference between the two even numbers?
Subtract the two numbers to get their difference.
If the difference of two positive numbers is 1 the product of these same two number is also 1 What is the difference of the cubes of these two numbers?
The difference of their cubes is 4.
Is the difference of two positive numbers positive or negative?
If you are asking how many numbers difference is there between two numbers, then it will be positive. If you are referring to subtraction, if the number you are subtracting from is the larger number, it will be positive. If it is smaller it will be negative. 3 - 2 = 1 (3, the number being subtracted from, is larger, so the answer is positive) 2 - 3 = -1 (2, the number being subtracted from, is smaller, so the answer is negative)
