In the problem 10 – 4 = 6, what is the correct term for the number 4?

1 Answers

Hello,First,    10 – 4 = 6is NOT a problem. It is a subtraction.According to Wikipedia:   “Formally, the number being subtracted is known as the subtrahend,    while the number it is subtracted from is the minuend.   The result is the difference.”Thus in the subtraction:   10 – 4 = 610 is the number it is subtracted from, it is then the MINUEND.4 is the number being subtracted, it is then the SUBTRAHEND.6 is the result, it is then the DIFFERENCE.So the correct term for the number 4 is SUBTRAHEND.Regards,Dragon.Jade 🙂...
