2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/6) - (1/96) using LCM Method:
What is 2/6 minus 1/96 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/6
Fraction B: 1/96

What to be found?
(2/6) - (1/96) = ?
Find what's the difference between 2/6 and 1/96.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/6 and 1/96 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/6 and 1/96 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 1/96:
The LCM of 6 and 96 is 96.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/6 and 1/96 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/6 - 1/96
= [(2 x 96)/(6 x 96)] - [(1 x 96)/(96 x 96)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 32/96 - 1/96

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/96 x (32/1 - 1/1)
= 1/96 x (32 - 1)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/96 x 31
= 31/96
2/6 - 1/96 = 31/96

Hence,
2/6 minus 1/96 as a fraction is 31/96.
