2. Cross multiplication method.

(11) - (16/11) using LCM Method:
What is 11 minus 16/11 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 11/1
Fraction B: 16/11

What to be found?
(11) - (16/11) = ?
Find what's the difference between 11 and 16/11.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 11 and 16/11 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 11 and 16/11 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 11 and 16/11:
The LCM of 1 and 11 is 11.

step 4 Write the fractions 11 and 16/11 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 11 - 16/11
= [(11 x 11)/(1 x 11)] - [(16 x 11)/(11 x 11)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 121/11 - 16/11

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/11 x (121/1 - 16/1)
= 1/11 x (121 - 16)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/11 x 105
= 105/11
11 - 16/11 = 105/11

Hence,
11 minus 16/11 as a fraction is 105/11.
