2. Cross multiplication method.

(10) - (9/13) using LCM Method:
What is 10 minus 9/13 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 10/1
Fraction B: 9/13

What to be found?
(10) - (9/13) = ?
Find what's the difference between 10 and 9/13.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 10 and 9/13 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 10 and 9/13 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions subtraction.

step 3For unlike fractions subtraction, find the LCM (least common multiple) of both denominators of fractions 10 and 9/13:
The LCM of 1 and 13 is 13.

step 4 Write the fractions 10 and 9/13 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 10 - 9/13
= [(10 x 13)/(1 x 13)] - [(9 x 13)/(13 x 13)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 130/13 - 9/13

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/13 x (130/1 - 9/1)
= 1/13 x (130 - 9)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/13 x 121
= 121/13
10 - 9/13 = 121/13

Hence,
10 minus 9/13 as a fraction is 121/13.
