2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/6) - (2/98) using LCM Method:
What is 1/6 minus 2/98 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/6
Fraction B: 2/98

What to be found?
(1/6) - (2/98) = ?
Find what's the difference between 1/6 and 2/98.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/6 and 2/98 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/6 and 2/98 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 1/6 and 2/98:
The LCM of 6 and 98 is 294.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/6 and 2/98 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/6 - 2/98
= [(1 x 294)/(6 x 294)] - [(2 x 294)/(98 x 294)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 49/294 - 6/294

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/294 x (49/1 - 6/1)
= 1/294 x (49 - 6)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/294 x 43
= 43/294
1/6 - 2/98 = 43/294

Hence,
1/6 minus 2/98 as a fraction is 43/294.
