Subtraction

Subtraction is a basic math operation used to find out what remains or how much less when you take one amount away from another. For example, if you have 10 apples and give away 3, subtraction helps you determine you have 7 apples left. It is represented by the minus sign (“-”) and shows the process of reducing a quantity. Subtraction is useful in everyday situations like balancing a budget, measuring differences, or distributing items. Essentially, it helps quantify the decrease or difference between two numbers or amounts.
