2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/9) - (2/98) using LCM Method:
What is 1/9 minus 2/98 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/9
Fraction B: 2/98

What to be found?
(1/9) - (2/98) = ?
Find what's the difference between 1/9 and 2/98.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/9 and 2/98 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/9 and 2/98 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 2/98:
The LCM of 9 and 98 is 882.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/9 and 2/98 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/9 - 2/98
= [(1 x 882)/(9 x 882)] - [(2 x 882)/(98 x 882)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 98/882 - 18/882

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/882 x (98/1 - 18/1)
= 1/882 x (98 - 18)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/882 x 80
= 80/882
= 40/441
1/9 - 2/98 = 40/441
