2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/4) - (1/99) using LCM Method:
What is 2/4 minus 1/99 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/4
Fraction B: 1/99

What to be found?
(2/4) - (1/99) = ?
Find what's the difference between 2/4 and 1/99.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/4 and 1/99 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/4 and 1/99 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 2/4 and 1/99:
The LCM of 4 and 99 is 396.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/4 and 1/99 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/4 - 1/99
= [(2 x 396)/(4 x 396)] - [(1 x 396)/(99 x 396)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 198/396 - 4/396

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/396 x (198/1 - 4/1)
= 1/396 x (198 - 4)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/396 x 194
= 194/396
= 97/198
2/4 - 1/99 = 97/198

Hence,
2/4 minus 1/99 as a fraction is 97/198.
