2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/7) - (1/47) using LCM Method:
What is 2/7 minus 1/47 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/7
Fraction B: 1/47

What to be found?
(2/7) - (1/47) = ?
Find what's the difference between 2/7 and 1/47.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/7 and 1/47 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/7 and 1/47 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 2/7 and 1/47:
The LCM of 7 and 47 is 329.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/7 and 1/47 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/7 - 1/47
= [(2 x 329)/(7 x 329)] - [(1 x 329)/(47 x 329)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 94/329 - 7/329

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/329 x (94/1 - 7/1)
= 1/329 x (94 - 7)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/329 x 87
= 87/329
2/7 - 1/47 = 87/329

Hence,
2/7 minus 1/47 as a fraction is 87/329.
