1/9 - 2/22 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 1/9 minus 2/22 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 1/9 - 2/22 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 1/9 minus 2/22 = 2/99
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 1/9 minus 2/22 is an unlike fractions subtraction. For subtracting unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 1/9 and fraction 2/22 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 9 and 22. 198 is the LCM of 9 and 22. Multiplying the LCM 198 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (1/9 x 198/198) - (2/22 x 198/198), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 1/9 is 22/198 and for 2/22 is 18/198. By simplifying this fraction subtraction 22/198 - 18/198, it becomes 4/198.

The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find what is the difference between two fractions by subtracting a fraction 2/22 from 1/9. For different, unequal or unlike denominators, use any one of the following methods to find the equivalent fraction for 1/9 minus 2/22.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/9) - (2/22) using LCM Method:
What is 1/9 minus 2/22 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/9
Fraction B: 2/22

What to be found?
(1/9) - (2/22) = ?
Find what's the difference between 1/9 and 2/22.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/9 and 2/22 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/9 and 2/22 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 1/9 and 2/22:
The LCM of 9 and 22 is 198.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/9 and 2/22 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/9 - 2/22
= [(1 x 198)/(9 x 198)] - [(2 x 198)/(22 x 198)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 22/198 - 18/198

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/198 x (22/1 - 18/1)
= 1/198 x (22 - 18)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/198 x 4
= 4/198
= 2/99
1/9 - 2/22 = 2/99

Hence,
1/9 minus 2/22 as a fraction is 2/99.

1/9 - 2/22 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/9
Fraction B: 2/22

What to be found?
(1/9)-(2/22) = ?
Find what's the difference between 1/9 and 2/22.

step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (1 x 22), find the product of numerator of Fraction B and denominator of Fraction A (2 x 9), and find the product of both denominators of Fraction A and Fraction B (9 x 22) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (1 x 22) - (2 x 9)/(9 x 22)

step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (22 - 18)/198
= 4/198
= 2/99
1/9 - 2/22 = 2/99

Hence,
1/9 minus 2/22 in fraction is 2/99
