2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/7) - (2/25) using LCM Method:
What is 1/7 minus 2/25 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/7
Fraction B: 2/25

What to be found?
(1/7) - (2/25) = ?
Find what's the difference between 1/7 and 2/25.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/7 and 2/25 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/7 and 2/25 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 1/7 and 2/25:
The LCM of 7 and 25 is 175.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/7 and 2/25 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/7 - 2/25
= [(1 x 175)/(7 x 175)] - [(2 x 175)/(25 x 175)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 25/175 - 14/175

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/175 x (25/1 - 14/1)
= 1/175 x (25 - 14)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/175 x 11
= 11/175
1/7 - 2/25 = 11/175

Hence,
1/7 minus 2/25 as a fraction is 11/175.
