The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find what is the difference between two fractions by subtracting a fraction 1/15 from 11/1. For different, unequal or unlike denominators, use any one of the following methods to find the equivalent fraction for 11/1 minus 1/15.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(11/1) - (1/15) using LCM Method:
What is 11/1 minus 1/15 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 11/1
Fraction B: 1/15

What to be found?
(11/1) - (1/15) = ?
Find what's the difference between 11/1 and 1/15.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 11/1 and 1/15 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 11/1 and 1/15 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 11/1 and 1/15:
The LCM of 1 and 15 is 15.

step 4 Write the fractions 11/1 and 1/15 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 11/1 - 1/15
= [(11 x 15)/(1 x 15)] - [(1 x 15)/(15 x 15)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 165/15 - 1/15

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/15 x (165/1 - 1/1)
= 1/15 x (165 - 1)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/15 x 164
= 164/15
11/1 - 1/15 = 164/15

Hence,
11/1 minus 1/15 as a fraction is 164/15.
