difference: Difference in math is the result of one of the important mathematical operations, which is obtained by subtracting two numbers. It tells us how much a number differs from the other. The aim of finding the difference in math is to tell how many numbers lie between the two given numbers.

To find the difference between two numbers, subtract the number with the smallest value from the number with the largest value. The product of this sum is the difference between the two numbers. Therefore the difference between 45 and 100 is 55.
