2. Cross multiplication method.

(11) - (5/14) using LCM Method:
What is 11 minus 5/14 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 11/1
Fraction B: 5/14

What to be found?
(11) - (5/14) = ?
Find what's the difference between 11 and 5/14.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 11 and 5/14 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 11 and 5/14 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions subtraction.

The LCM of 1 and 14 is 14.

step 4 Write the fractions 11 and 5/14 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 11 - 5/14
= [(11 x 14)/(1 x 14)] - [(5 x 14)/(14 x 14)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 154/14 - 5/14

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/14 x (154/1 - 5/1)
= 1/14 x (154 - 5)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/14 x 149
= 149/14
11 - 5/14 = 149/14

Hence,
11 minus 5/14 as a fraction is 149/14.
