2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/6) - (1/54) using LCM Method:
What is 2/6 minus 1/54 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/6
Fraction B: 1/54

What to be found?
(2/6) - (1/54) = ?
Find what's the difference between 2/6 and 1/54.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/6 and 1/54 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/6 and 1/54 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions subtraction.

The LCM of 6 and 54 is 54.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/6 and 1/54 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/6 - 1/54
= [(2 x 54)/(6 x 54)] - [(1 x 54)/(54 x 54)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 18/54 - 1/54

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/54 x (18/1 - 1/1)
= 1/54 x (18 - 1)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/54 x 17
= 17/54
2/6 - 1/54 = 17/54

Hence,
2/6 minus 1/54 as a fraction is 17/54.
