step 4 Write the fractions 16/7 and 16/11 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 16/7 - 16/11
= [(16 x 77)/(7 x 77)] - [(16 x 77)/(11 x 77)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 176/77 - 112/77

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/77 x (176/1 - 112/1)
= 1/77 x (176 - 112)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/77 x 64
= 64/77
16/7 - 16/11 = 64/77
