2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/8) - (1/75) using LCM Method:
What is 2/8 minus 1/75 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/8
Fraction B: 1/75

What to be found?
(2/8) - (1/75) = ?
Find what's the difference between 2/8 and 1/75.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/8 and 1/75 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/8 and 1/75 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 1/75:
The LCM of 8 and 75 is 600.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/8 and 1/75 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/8 - 1/75
= [(2 x 600)/(8 x 600)] - [(1 x 600)/(75 x 600)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 150/600 - 8/600

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/600 x (150/1 - 8/1)
= 1/600 x (150 - 8)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/600 x 142
= 142/600
= 71/300
2/8 - 1/75 = 71/300

Hence,
2/8 minus 1/75 as a fraction is 71/300.
