2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/7) - (1/66) using LCM Method:
What is 2/7 minus 1/66 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/7
Fraction B: 1/66

What to be found?
(2/7) - (1/66) = ?
Find what's the difference between 2/7 and 1/66.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/7 and 1/66 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/7 and 1/66 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 1/66:
The LCM of 7 and 66 is 462.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/7 and 1/66 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/7 - 1/66
= [(2 x 462)/(7 x 462)] - [(1 x 462)/(66 x 462)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 132/462 - 7/462

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/462 x (132/1 - 7/1)
= 1/462 x (132 - 7)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/462 x 125
= 125/462
2/7 - 1/66 = 125/462

Hence,
2/7 minus 1/66 as a fraction is 125/462.
