2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/61) - (1/65) using LCM Method:
What is 2/61 minus 1/65 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/61
Fraction B: 1/65

What to be found?
(2/61) - (1/65) = ?
Find what's the difference between 2/61 and 1/65.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/61 and 1/65 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/61 and 1/65 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 2/61 and 1/65:
The LCM of 61 and 65 is 3965.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/61 and 1/65 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/61 - 1/65
= [(2 x 3965)/(61 x 3965)] - [(1 x 3965)/(65 x 3965)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 130/3965 - 61/3965

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/3965 x (130/1 - 61/1)
= 1/3965 x (130 - 61)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/3965 x 69
= 69/3965
2/61 - 1/65 = 69/3965

Hence,
2/61 minus 1/65 as a fraction is 69/3965.
