In this paper, we aim to derive the explicit forms of forward and backward difference formulas based on the Taylor series. These formulas are employed to approximate the N-th derivative of a single-variable function with N-th order accuracy. The explicit formula is determined by utilizing the properties of the determinant of the Vandermonde matrix. Subsequently, we apply the obtained formulas to an example case involving a first-order ordinary differential equation
