About Subtraction

A Subtraction Calculator helps you quickly and accurately find the difference between two or more numbers. Subtraction is one of the four fundamental arithmetic operations used in everyday calculations, such as determining remaining balances, measuring differences, and solving mathematical problems. Whether you're tracking expenses, measuring differences, or performing calculations for work or school, this calculator simplifies the process.

What is Subtraction?

Subtraction is the process of taking away one number from another to find the difference. It is represented by the "-" (minus sign) and is the opposite of addition. The result of a subtraction operation is called the difference.

Subtraction is commonly used in:

Finance – Finding out how much money remains after spending.
Shopping – Calculating discounts and price reductions.
Measurements – Finding the difference between two values.
Statistics – Analyzing data variations and differences.

Formula for Subtraction:

Difference = Minuend − Subtrahend

Where:

  • Minuend = The number from which another number is subtracted
  • Subtrahend = The number being subtracted
  • Difference = The result after subtraction

Example:

If you subtract 18 from 50, the calculation will be:

Difference = 50 − 18 = 32
