2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/9) - (2/85) using LCM Method:
What is 1/9 minus 2/85 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/9
Fraction B: 2/85

What to be found?
(1/9) - (2/85) = ?
Find what's the difference between 1/9 and 2/85.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/9 and 2/85 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/9 and 2/85 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 2/85:
The LCM of 9 and 85 is 765.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/9 and 2/85 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/9 - 2/85
= [(1 x 765)/(9 x 765)] - [(2 x 765)/(85 x 765)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 85/765 - 18/765

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/765 x (85/1 - 18/1)
= 1/765 x (85 - 18)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/765 x 67
= 67/765
1/9 - 2/85 = 67/765

Hence,
1/9 minus 2/85 as a fraction is 67/765.
