2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/1) - (1/59) using LCM Method:
What is 1/1 minus 1/59 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/1
Fraction B: 1/59

What to be found?
(1/1) - (1/59) = ?
Find what's the difference between 1/1 and 1/59.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/1 and 1/59 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/1 and 1/59 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 1/1 and 1/59:
The LCM of 1 and 59 is 59.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/1 and 1/59 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/1 - 1/59
= [(1 x 59)/(1 x 59)] - [(1 x 59)/(59 x 59)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 59/59 - 1/59

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/59 x (59/1 - 1/1)
= 1/59 x (59 - 1)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/59 x 58
= 58/59
1/1 - 1/59 = 58/59

Hence,
1/1 minus 1/59 as a fraction is 58/59.
