2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/8) - (2/95) using LCM Method:
What is 1/8 minus 2/95 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/8
Fraction B: 2/95

What to be found?
(1/8) - (2/95) = ?
Find what's the difference between 1/8 and 2/95.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/8 and 2/95 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/8 and 2/95 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 1/8 and 2/95:
The LCM of 8 and 95 is 760.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/8 and 2/95 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/8 - 2/95
= [(1 x 760)/(8 x 760)] - [(2 x 760)/(95 x 760)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 95/760 - 16/760

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/760 x (95/1 - 16/1)
= 1/760 x (95 - 16)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/760 x 79
= 79/760
1/8 - 2/95 = 79/760

Hence,
1/8 minus 2/95 as a fraction is 79/760.
