2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/8) - (1/67) using LCM Method:
What is 2/8 minus 1/67 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/8
Fraction B: 1/67

What to be found?
(2/8) - (1/67) = ?
Find what's the difference between 2/8 and 1/67.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/8 and 1/67 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/8 and 1/67 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 1/67:
The LCM of 8 and 67 is 536.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/8 and 1/67 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/8 - 1/67
= [(2 x 536)/(8 x 536)] - [(1 x 536)/(67 x 536)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 134/536 - 8/536

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/536 x (134/1 - 8/1)
= 1/536 x (134 - 8)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/536 x 126
= 126/536
= 63/268
2/8 - 1/67 = 63/268

Hence,
2/8 minus 1/67 as a fraction is 63/268.
