(2/3) - (3/19) using LCM Method:
What is 2/3 minus 3/19 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/3
Fraction B: 3/19

What to be found?
(2/3) - (3/19) = ?
Find what's the difference between 2/3 and 3/19.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/3 and 3/19 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/3 and 3/19 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 2/3 and 3/19:
The LCM of 3 and 19 is 57.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/3 and 3/19 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/3 - 3/19
= [(2 x 57)/(3 x 57)] - [(3 x 57)/(19 x 57)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 38/57 - 9/57

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/57 x (38/1 - 9/1)
= 1/57 x (38 - 9)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/57 x 29
= 29/57
2/3 - 3/19 = 29/57

Hence,
2/3 minus 3/19 as a fraction is 29/57.
