× Subscriber features Email (Subscriber Feature) Cite (Subscriber Feature) All parts of arithmetic equations have names. In an addition equation, addends are the numbers that are added together to give a sum. In a subtraction equation, the subtrahend is taken away from the minuend to give a difference. In a multiplication equation, factors are multiplied to give a product. In a division equation, a dividend is divided by a divisor to give a quotient. © Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. ×
