Minuend − Subtrahend = Difference

678(minuend)
− 489 (subtrahend) = 189 (Difference)

The difference is 189.

Subtrahend is the number that is getting subtracted from the minuend, and the result is called the difference. In other words:

Minuend - Subtrahend = Difference

So...

678 - 489 = 189

Hope that helps :)
