Question

How to subtract fractions

Answer 1

Find common denominators soo for example if we had 4/6-1/2
The common denominator would be 6 so
4/6 - 3/6
4-3 is 1 so
The answer would be 1/6

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If denominators are same, subtract the numerators.For example

6/8-1/8 here denominators for both fractions are same (8)

6-1/8 = 5/8

If denominators are different, find LCM for the denominators.

1/2 - 1/3 .Here LCM for 2 and 3 is 6

1*3/2*3 - 1*2/3*2 = 3/6 - 2/6    { now same denominator 6}

=(3-2)/6=1/6
