2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/8) - (1/77) using LCM Method:
What is 2/8 minus 1/77 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/8
Fraction B: 1/77

What to be found?
(2/8) - (1/77) = ?
Find what's the difference between 2/8 and 1/77.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/8 and 1/77 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/8 and 1/77 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions subtraction.

The LCM of 8 and 77 is 616.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/8 and 1/77 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/8 - 1/77
= [(2 x 616)/(8 x 616)] - [(1 x 616)/(77 x 616)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 154/616 - 8/616

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/616 x (154/1 - 8/1)
= 1/616 x (154 - 8)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/616 x 146
= 146/616
= 73/308
2/8 - 1/77 = 73/308
