2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/9) - (2/79) using LCM Method:
What is 1/9 minus 2/79 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/9
Fraction B: 2/79

What to be found?
(1/9) - (2/79) = ?
Find what's the difference between 1/9 and 2/79.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/9 and 2/79 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/9 and 2/79 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 2/79:
The LCM of 9 and 79 is 711.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/9 and 2/79 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/9 - 2/79
= [(1 x 711)/(9 x 711)] - [(2 x 711)/(79 x 711)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 79/711 - 18/711

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/711 x (79/1 - 18/1)
= 1/711 x (79 - 18)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/711 x 61
= 61/711
1/9 - 2/79 = 61/711
