The number from which another is being subtracted by?
It's called the minuend. Example: 8 - 2 = 6. 8 is the minuend, 2 is the subtrahend, 6 is the difference.
In subtraction the minuend is the smaller number?
Not necessarily. In any subtraction sum, for example, 8 - 3 = 5, the minuend is the first number of the sum. The second number of the sum is called the subtrahend, and the third number is called the difference.The minuend could be the smaller number of the sum, for example, 2 - 3 = -1, however, in this case, the difference will always be a negative result.
How do you check subtraction with addition?
I have a new way in checking answers in subtraction. If you have the answer, subtract the minuend to the difference then, if the answer is the subtrahend the answer is correct. Here is an example. E.g. 13738724-11234689=2504035 Check = 13738724(the minuend)-2504035(the answer)= 11234689 Another simple example. E.g. 67-23=44 Check= 67(minuend)-44(answer)=23(subtrahend) Thanks and God Bless You! NOTE: I do not know if anyone also knows this trick!
