2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/9) - (2/69) using LCM Method:
What is 1/9 minus 2/69 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/9
Fraction B: 2/69

What to be found?
(1/9) - (2/69) = ?
Find what's the difference between 1/9 and 2/69.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/9 and 2/69 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/9 and 2/69 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 2/69:
The LCM of 9 and 69 is 207.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/9 and 2/69 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/9 - 2/69
= [(1 x 207)/(9 x 207)] - [(2 x 207)/(69 x 207)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 23/207 - 6/207

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/207 x (23/1 - 6/1)
= 1/207 x (23 - 6)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/207 x 17
= 17/207
1/9 - 2/69 = 17/207

Hence,
1/9 minus 2/69 as a fraction is 17/207.
