If a and b are whole numbers, then a-b is a whole number only when a is greater than b.
For example,
5-3 = 2 is a whole number
7-1 = 6 is a whole number
100-90 = 10 is a whole number
Here a is greater than me.
3-5 = -2 is not a whole number
1-7 = -6 is not a whole number
90-100 = -10 is a whole number
Here,b is greater than a
But a-b is not a whole number when b is greater than a.
a-b is a whole number when and only a is greater than me.
