<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
<em><u>Given that,</u></em>
<em><u>We have to subtract the following:</u></em>

<em><u>Make the denominators same</u></em>
Take LCM for denominators
LCM of 8 and 6
List all prime factors for 8 and 6
Prime Factorization of 6 is: 2 x 3
Prime Factorization of 8 is: 2 x 2 x 2
For each prime factor, find where it occurs most often as a factor and write it that many times
2, 2, 2, 3
Multiply these factors together to find the LCM.
LCM = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 24
Therefore,

Thus Subtract: 5/8 - 1/6 = 11/24
