I think there are a lot? I could be completely crazy, but ⤵

9 and 12. 9 - 12 = -3

34 and 100. 34 - 100 = -66

12,315 and 143,654. 12,315 - 143,654 = -131,339

etc

Basically, anything where the first number is less than the second number :D

Why?

- A positive integer is just a number that is positive and can be written without a fraction

I hope this helps, have a nice day! :)
