The difference of two numbers is the number obtained when the lesser number is subtracted from the greater number.

The difference of 4 and 2 is:

\text{[math]}

The difference of -3 and -9 is:

\text{[math]}

Another way of putting it, is that the difference is the absolute value of subtracting either number from the other.

$\text{[math]}$

The number being subtracted is the subtrahend, the number being subtracted from is the minuend.
