What is the difference between a 38 and 357?

Well, difference is the answer to a subtraction problem, so that means to subtract. So, you would have to do: 357-38, and you would get 319. To check it you could go: 319+38, and you would get 357. If you are not talking about subtracting, the difference between the two numbers would be that: one number is in the hundreds, and one is in the tens. Hope this helps!! P.S- I know this stuff because I am in 4th grade.
