Nothing significant to my knowledge. The mass number is approximately the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. The atomic number is the number of protons.

Nothing very useful. The atomic number indicates the number of protons in the nucleus while the mass number indicates the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

Nothing really. The mass number is the number of protons and neutrons. The atomic number is the number of protons.

I don't know the answer to that question, but conversely when Mass # - atomic number(# of protons), you get # of neutrons.

mass number= p number + n number
atomic number=p number=e number (for neutral atoms)
if u add them u get p+n+e
which is the number of subatomic particles

you get nothing to my knowledge.
but
when you subtract mass number and atomic number, you get # of neutrons
