2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/6) - (1/83) using LCM Method:
What is 2/6 minus 1/83 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/6
Fraction B: 1/83

What to be found?
(2/6) - (1/83) = ?
Find what's the difference between 2/6 and 1/83.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/6 and 1/83 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/6 and 1/83 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 1/83:
The LCM of 6 and 83 is 498.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/6 and 1/83 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/6 - 1/83
= [(2 x 498)/(6 x 498)] - [(1 x 498)/(83 x 498)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 166/498 - 6/498

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/498 x (166/1 - 6/1)
= 1/498 x (166 - 6)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/498 x 160
= 160/498
= 80/249
2/6 - 1/83 = 80/249

Hence,
2/6 minus 1/83 as a fraction is 80/249.
