2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/4) - (2/94) using LCM Method:
What is 1/4 minus 2/94 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/4
Fraction B: 2/94

What to be found?
(1/4) - (2/94) = ?
Find what's the difference between 1/4 and 2/94.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/4 and 2/94 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/4 and 2/94 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 1/4 and 2/94:
The LCM of 4 and 94 is 188.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/4 and 2/94 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/4 - 2/94
= [(1 x 188)/(4 x 188)] - [(2 x 188)/(94 x 188)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 47/188 - 4/188

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/188 x (47/1 - 4/1)
= 1/188 x (47 - 4)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/188 x 43
= 43/188
1/4 - 2/94 = 43/188

Hence,
1/4 minus 2/94 as a fraction is 43/188.
