Causing underflow in ieee-754 floating point format using subtraction

Causing underflow in ieee-754 floating point format using subtraction

This seems basic but I am having a lot of trouble answering the following
question:
Give two numbers X and Y represented in the IEEE754 format such that
computing X-Y will result in underflow.
To my understanding every operation can potentially result in underflow
but for the life of mine I cant find an example for subtraction.
PLEASE HELP!!! thanks
