Question

Subtraction and division are derived from which principal operations

Answer 1

There is no such thing as subtraction. Just something to think about :)

There are numbers and there is an operation called addition. Every number has an additive inverse, an opposite value.

Example: The opposite of 4 is -4.

When we do addition between numbers like 5 and the inverse of 2: 5 + -2 this is usually what we're thinking of when we talk about subtraction. We could write it as 5 - 2.

But anyway, to answer your question,

Subtraction and division are derived from the principle operations of ADDITION and MULTIPLICATION.
