2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/6) - (1/73) using LCM Method:
What is 2/6 minus 1/73 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/6
Fraction B: 1/73

What to be found?
(2/6) - (1/73) = ?
Find what's the difference between 2/6 and 1/73.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/6 and 1/73 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/6 and 1/73 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 2/6 and 1/73:
The LCM of 6 and 73 is 438.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/6 and 1/73 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/6 - 1/73
= [(2 x 438)/(6 x 438)] - [(1 x 438)/(73 x 438)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 146/438 - 6/438

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/438 x (146/1 - 6/1)
= 1/438 x (146 - 6)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/438 x 140
= 140/438
= 70/219
2/6 - 1/73 = 70/219

Hence,
2/6 minus 1/73 as a fraction is 70/219.
