2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/9) - (2/83) using LCM Method:
What is 1/9 minus 2/83 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/9
Fraction B: 2/83

What to be found?
(1/9) - (2/83) = ?
Find what's the difference between 1/9 and 2/83.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/9 and 2/83 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/9 and 2/83 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 2/83:
The LCM of 9 and 83 is 747.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/9 and 2/83 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/9 - 2/83
= [(1 x 747)/(9 x 747)] - [(2 x 747)/(83 x 747)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 83/747 - 18/747

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/747 x (83/1 - 18/1)
= 1/747 x (83 - 18)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/747 x 65
= 65/747
1/9 - 2/83 = 65/747

Hence,
1/9 minus 2/83 as a fraction is 65/747.
