2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/7) - (1/51) using LCM Method:
What is 2/7 minus 1/51 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/7
Fraction B: 1/51

What to be found?
(2/7) - (1/51) = ?
Find what's the difference between 2/7 and 1/51.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/7 and 1/51 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/7 and 1/51 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 1/51:
The LCM of 7 and 51 is 357.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/7 and 1/51 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/7 - 1/51
= [(2 x 357)/(7 x 357)] - [(1 x 357)/(51 x 357)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 102/357 - 7/357

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/357 x (102/1 - 7/1)
= 1/357 x (102 - 7)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/357 x 95
= 95/357
2/7 - 1/51 = 95/357

Hence,
2/7 minus 1/51 as a fraction is 95/357.
