2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/9) - (2/96) using LCM Method:
What is 1/9 minus 2/96 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/9
Fraction B: 2/96

What to be found?
(1/9) - (2/96) = ?
Find what's the difference between 1/9 and 2/96.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/9 and 2/96 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/9 and 2/96 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 2/96:
The LCM of 9 and 96 is 288.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/9 and 2/96 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/9 - 2/96
= [(1 x 288)/(9 x 288)] - [(2 x 288)/(96 x 288)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 32/288 - 6/288

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/288 x (32/1 - 6/1)
= 1/288 x (32 - 6)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/288 x 26
= 26/288
= 13/144
1/9 - 2/96 = 13/144

Hence,
1/9 minus 2/96 as a fraction is 13/144.
