2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/8) - (1/65) using LCM Method:
What is 2/8 minus 1/65 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/8
Fraction B: 1/65

What to be found?
(2/8) - (1/65) = ?
Find what's the difference between 2/8 and 1/65.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/8 and 1/65 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/8 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 2/8 and 1/65:
The LCM of 8 and 65 is 520.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/8 and 1/65 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/8 - 1/65
= [(2 x 520)/(8 x 520)] - [(1 x 520)/(65 x 520)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 130/520 - 8/520

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/520 x (130/1 - 8/1)
= 1/520 x (130 - 8)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/520 x 122
= 122/520
= 61/260
2/8 - 1/65 = 61/260

Hence,
2/8 minus 1/65 as a fraction is 61/260.
