A minus sign
The subtraction sign (−) as we know it today was popularized by the mathematician Johannes Widmann in his book "Mercator" published in 1489. However, the use of a symbol for subtraction can be traced back earlier to the work of various mathematicians in Europe. The use of a horizontal line to indicate subtraction became standardized over time, leading to the symbol we use today.
The answer we get after subtraction is called

The subtraction sign (−) was first used in print by the mathematician Johannes Widmann in his book "Mercantile Arithmetic" published in 1489. However, the symbol was popularized in the 16th century by mathematicians like Michael Stifel and later by others, leading to its widespread acceptance in mathematical notation. The use of the subtraction sign has since become a standard in mathematics across various cultures and languages.
